CEO, John Coustas said: 'Not only have we achieved charter coverage for 100 per cent of our operating days in 2021, we have already contracted 89 per cent of our operating days for 2022 and 60 percent for 2023. We will continue to work to secure additional charter extensions during the strong market environment in order to maximise our profitability and create value for our shareholders.'
