The gross charter rate is $13,000 per day for the first thirty days of the charter period and $16,500 per day for the balance period of the time charter, in each case minus a 5.00% commission paid to third parties, for a period until minimum March 1, 2027 up to maximum April 30, 2027.

The m/v Amphitrite is currently chartered, as previously announced, at a gross charter rate of $12,100 per day, minus a 5.00% commission paid to third parties. The "Amphitrite" is a 98,697 dwt Post-Panamax dry bulk vessel built in 2012. The employment extension of "Amphitrite" is anticipated to generate approximately $6.15M of gross revenue for the minimum scheduled period of the time charter.
