Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2015
(firmenpresse) - ATHENS, GREECE -- (Marketwired) -- 03/15/16 -- Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: SHIP) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2015.
For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company generated net revenues of $6.8 million. Total equity as of December 31, 2015 was $23.3 million.
"I am pleased to announce that in the fourth quarter of 2015, we successfully completed the $185 million fleet acquisition that we signed in August of 2015. As a result, our fleet now consists of 6 Capesize and 2 Supramax vessels. In 2015, our cargo carrying capacity grew from zero to more than 1.1 million DWT."
"Seanergy's acquisition cost, which is among the lowest of our peers, coupled with our advantageous financing arrangements should provide significant upside potential for our investors. Looking forward, we firmly believe that current market conditions represent a unique opportunity to acquire quality tonnage at 30-year historical low prices. For that reason, we intend to pursue acquisition opportunities that we believe can further enhance value for our shareholders. We believe that Seanergy is the right platform in dry bulk listed space for further fleet expansion in order to capitalize on the recovery of the freight market and asset values."
