EuroDry Ltd. was formed on January 8, 2018 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to consolidate the drybulk fleet of Euroseas Ltd. into a separate listed public company. EuroDry was spun-off from Euroseas Ltd. on May 30, 2018; it trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker EDRY. EuroDry operates in the dry cargo, drybulk shipping market. EuroDry’s operations are managed by Eurobulk Ltd., an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified affiliated ship management company and Eurobulk (Far East) Ltd. Inc., which are responsible for the day- to-day commercial and technical management and operations of the vessels. EuroDry employs its vessels on spot and period charters and under pool agreements.

Sale of M/V Tasos. EuroDry Ltd. recently agreed to sell the M/V Tasos, a vessel built in 2000, for ~$5 million. The vessel is expected to be scrapped and recycled and will be delivered to its buyer between mid-February and mid-March 2025. Eurodry expects to book a gain of approximately $2.1 million. Following the sale of the M/V Tasos, Eurodry will have a fleet of 12 vessels with total cargo capacity of 843,402 dwt. Upon delivery of two Ultramax vessels in 2027, the fleet will consist of 14 vessels with total cargo capacity of 970,402 dwt.
Market environment. Charter rates have continued to decline due, in part, to a weak outlook for the economy in China, which accounts for a large portion of dry bulk trade, and previous route disruptions that have largely abated. The Panama Canal has returned to full capacity, further undermining dry bulk rates. Recent U.S. tariffs imposed on imports from China could also weigh on its economy. While higher scrapping rates and more stringent environmental regulations could constrain the available bulker fleet, we are not optimistic that rates will make a significant recovery in 2025 despite a historically low industry order book.
