(“TEN” or the “Company”) (NYSE:TNP) today announced a minimum 12 maximum 24-months charter to a well-known oil major for an MR product tanker and the sale of the fleet’s oldest vessel, the VLCC Millennium for recycling purposes. The fixture of the MR is expected to generate approximately $10.0 million of gross revenues over the extended duration of the contract while the sale of the VLCC will generate $7.5 million of free cash after repayment of applicable debt. “The Millennium has operated flawlessly and profitably since her newbuilding delivery exactly 20 years ago and was much in demand by many significant oil concerns throughout her life.
