Key Points

  • Freight rates for Nordic American Tankers remain high and are unprecedented, supporting strong revenue prospects.
  • The company's operations are not impacted by geopolitical tensions at the Strait of Hormuz, providing operational stability.
  • Lower oil prices benefit the company by supporting continued demand for long-distance oil transportation (ton-mile basis).
  • The shipping and oil transportation sectors are positively impacted by these developments, reflecting increased demand and stable logistics.

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

I am very pleased to inform you that the market conditions for our vessels continue to be exceptionally solid. We expect this development to continue.

We have previously informed you about the high freight rates that we enjoy.

This unprecedented development continues. The closing or opening of the Strait of Hormuz does not impact the NAT operations in any way. The essential measure for NAT, is ton-mile, i.e., transportation work. The NAT ships are needed.

Lower and decreasing price of oil, is an advantage for NAT. The lower the price, the better.

The main question is the safe transportation of oil, and the demand for our ships is critical. How much oil do NAT carry and over how long distances?

NAT has a strong relationship with the largest oil companies in the world. This is  essential for our success. They have confidence in us, our crews and in the quality of our vessels.

Risks

  • Geopolitical tensions could escalate and indirectly affect global oil shipping routes and demand, impacting revenue.
  • Volatility in oil prices could reduce transportation volumes or freight rates if demand shifts negatively.
  • Dependence on major oil companies requires maintaining strong relationships; any loss of contracts or reduced volumes could negatively affect revenues.
