EuroDry , an owner and operator of drybulk vessels and provider of seaborne transportation for drybulk cargoes, announced  that it has signed an agreement to sell M/V Tasos, a 75,100 dwt drybulk vessel, built in 2000, for demolition, for approximately $5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to its buyers, an unaffiliated third party, between mid-February and mid-March 2025, upon completion of her present charter.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and CEO of EuroDry commented: “We are pleased to announce our agreement to sell of our M/V Tasos, the eldest Panamax-size bulker of our fleet which was due for a costly fifth special survey, for recycling. As a result of this sale, we expect to book a gain of approximately $2.1 million, or about $0.75 per share. The net proceeds of this sale will increase our near-term liquidity and enable us to quickly capitalize on accretive investment opportunities in the sector, when they arise, for the benefit of our shareholders.
