C3is Inc. Increases Fleet DWT Capacity by 385%
Following the delivery of the two MR product tankers scheduled to be delivered between the first quarter and the third quarter of 2026, and assuming no further vessel acquisitions or dispositions, the Company's fleet will consist of six vessels: one Aframax oil tanker with a capacity of approximately 115,800 deadweight tons, two MR product tankers with capacities of approximately 50,000 dwt each and three Handysize dry bulk carriers with an aggregate capacity of 97,664 dwt. The Company's total fleet capacity is expected to be approximately 310,667 dwt. Subsequent to these latest acquisitions, C3is Inc. will have increased its fleet DWT capacity by 385% from inception, without resorting to any bank loans. The Company's tanker fleet, consisting of one Aframax tanker and two MR product tankers, is expected to operate in the spot market, which is currently exhibiting strong fundamentals. Based on currently prevailing market conditions, average daily charter revenues are estimated at approximately $55,000 for Aframax tankers and $25,000 for MR product tankers. We believe the cash flow contribution from the Company's tanker fleet will be substantial. The Company's Handysize dry bulk carriers are currently employed under short-term fixed time charter contracts, generating average daily charter rates of approximately $15,800, providing more stable revenues and contributing to cash flow generation.
