Rising spot rates signal added flexibility from a debt‑free balance sheet.
Overview
- C3is reported Monday unaudited first‑quarter results, saying its fleet averaged about $32,200 per day on a Time Charter Equivalent basis, a standard daily earnings measure in shipping.
- Management said spot rates improved after the quarter, with its Aframax tanker currently earning $115,000 per day and other segments showing strong returns.
- The company said it has no outstanding bank debt, which it described as a source of financial flexibility for future moves.
