Belships ASA: Divestment of two supramax vessels and period charter contract

Belships ASA: Divestment of two supramax vessels and period charter contract

Belships has entered into agreements for the sale of BELSTAR and BELNOR. The

58 000 dwt bulk carriers were built in 2009 and 2010, and are the oldest ships

in Belships' fleet.

Delivery is expected to occur between December 2021 and January 2022 and

Belships will realise a gain of approximately USD 5.1m in Q4 2021 and USD 5.9m

in Q1 2022. Total net cash flow after delivery of the vessels will be

approximately USD 24.5m after repayment of outstanding loans.

Belships has entered into agreement for a period time charter contract for one

of our vessels for a period of about 11-13 months at a gross rate of USD 25 000

per day. The contract is expected to commence within end December 2021.

The contract coverage for 2022 stands at about 50 per cent at an average rate of

USD 23 000 net per day per vessel meaning that the cash breakeven for remaining

open days is now well below zero.

"These transactions solidify Belships' position, with a strong balance sheet and

the most modern fleet within our segment. We will continue the strategic

approach to develop our company, with the aim of maximising returns for our

shareholders," said Belships CEO Lars Christian Skarsgård.
