Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp., a leading pure-play Capesize owner and operator, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share. This marks Seanergy’s 19th consecutive quarterly dividend under its capital return policy and reflects the Company’s strong earnings generation and disciplined approach to capital allocation.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated Net Revenues of $55.7 million, compared to $37.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net Income and Adjusted Net Income for the quarter increased to $26.2 million and $28.5 million, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in the prior-year period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached $39.3 million and $41.5 million, respectively, compared to $17.4 million and $18.3 million, respectively, for the same period of 2025. The fleet achieved a daily TCE of $32,355 for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 63% year-over-year increase.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Seanergy generated Net Revenues of $97.8 million, Net Income of $35.9 million and Adjusted Net Income of $42.0 million, compared to Net Revenues of $61.7 million, a Net Loss of $4.0 million and Adjusted Net Loss of $1.7 million in the first half of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 165% to $69.6 million, while Adjusted EPS reached $1.96, compared to an adjusted loss per share of $0.09 in the prior-year period. Fleet TCE increased by 69% to $28,244 per day.
Cash and cash-equivalents and restricted cash, as of June 30, 2026, stood at $59.5 million. Long-term debt (senior loans and other financial liabilities) net of deferred charges amounted to $294.9 million, compared with a fleet book value of $542.3 million, including advances paid for vessels under construction and a vessel under sales-type lease, resulting in a fleet loan-to-book value ratio of approximately 55%. Stockholders’ equity increased by $31.7 million, or 11% to $313.1 million, over the six-month period.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“Seanergy delivered record results in the second quarter with Net Income of $26.2 million and Adjusted EPS of $1.32, bringing first-half Adjusted EPS to $1.96, and underscoring the strong earnings power and operating leverage of our pure-play Capesize platform.”
“Building on our solid performance, we continued to execute on our disciplined capital return policy. Our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, our 19th consecutive distribution, bringing cumulative dividends to $3.19 per share, or approximately $63.2 million in aggregate. In total, we have returned $108.4 million to shareholders since program inception, through dividends and the repurchases of shares, warrants and convertible notes.”
“We further advanced our fleet renewal strategy by agreeing to acquire two additional high-quality Japanese Capesize vessels for an aggregate consideration of approximately $130 million. These transactions consist of a scrubber-fitted newbuilding and a modern 2022-built vessel, both expected to join our fleet in 2029. These acquisitions lock in modern, fuel-efficient tonnage and scarce 2029 delivery slots ahead of an anticipated tightening in Capesize supply.”
“Our fleet renewal and growth program now comprises eight modern vessels, including seven newbuildings and one 2022-built Capesize, and represents an aggregate investment of approximately $591 million. Four of the eight vessels are scheduled to deliver in 2027, accelerating fleet renewal and earnings contribution from 2027 onward. We continue to execute selectively, pairing scarce delivery slots with disposals of older tonnage at firm valuations, while maintaining a disciplined balance sheet.”
“We have also secured multi-year employment for our three Chinese-built 2027 newbuildings with leading global counterparties, at floor rates covering expected cash breakeven plus a premium index-linked formula and profit sharing above an upper threshold. This approach materially de-risks the first phase of the program from day one of delivery while maintaining the upside potential central to our investment thesis.”
“Our successful issuance of a €100 million unsecured corporate bond in Greece diversifies our capital base and complements our existing secured financings. Its five-year non-amortizing structure provides non-dilutive, long-term capital precisely matched to the construction phase of our program, before the new vessels begin generating revenues.”
“The Capesize market continued to perform strongly during the second quarter, supported by record quarterly China iron ore imports and continued growth in bauxite trade against low fleet supply growth. Looking ahead, the market outlook remains constructive: a low orderbook against a rapidly ageing fleet, strong iron ore export growth, and resilient coal and bauxite volumes. In this context, we have fixed about 55% of our ownership days for the second half of the year at a daily rate of $30,800, providing significant earnings visibility while preserving meaningful index-linked exposure in a strong Capesize market. Additionally, based on the current FFA curve, our estimated 3Q 2026 daily TCE of approximately $31,000 further reinforces our positive earnings outlook and our ability to continue generating attractive returns in the quarters ahead.”
“Our strategic direction remains clear: deliver consistent shareholder distributions, invest strategically in modern tonnage, and preserve financial flexibility. We believe this balanced approach positions Seanergy to create meaningful long-term shareholder value.”
Second Quarter and Recent Developments:
Dividend Distribution for Q1 2026 and Declaration of Q2 2026 Dividend
On July 10, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share for the first quarter of 2026 to all shareholders of record as of June 29, 2026.
The Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share for the second quarter of 2026 payable on or about October 9, 2026, to all shareholders of record as of September 25, 2026.
Vessel Improvements – Environmental Investments – Dry-Dockings
The Company is renewing its fleet through the addition of advanced eco-design newbuildings and modern secondhand tonnage, while selectively divesting older vessels. The seven newbuildings under the Company’s fleet renewal and growth program are designed to meet International Maritime Organization requirements for Phase 3 greenhouse gas emissions reduction (“IMO GHG Phase 3”) and Tier III nitrogen oxide emissions (“IMO NOx Tier III”) and are scrubber-fitted.
In parallel, the Company continues to implement the environmental upgrade program across its existing fleet, having invested approximately $37.3 million since 2024 in environmental upgrades, vessel improvements and dry-dockings.
Together, the fleet renewal and environmental upgrade initiatives are expected to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Having completed the majority of the scheduled upgrades in prior quarters, the Company expects approximately 50 off-hire days for the remainder of 2026 in connection with scheduled dry-dockings, vessel repairs and environmental upgrades.
Fleet Update
Acquisition of Two Japanese-Built Capesize Vessels for 2029 Delivery
The Company has entered into an agreement with unaffiliated third parties to acquire two Japanese Capesize vessels for aggregate consideration of approximately $130.0 million.
The acquisitions comprise:
a 181,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize newbuilding, expected to be delivered between the first and second quarters of 2029; and
a 182,162 dwt Capesize vessel built in 2022, with forward delivery expected between the fourth quarter of 2028 and the second quarter of 2029.
The Company has already paid a deposit of 5% of the purchase price for the Capesize newbuilding. The remaining balance of the purchase price shall be payable as follows: 35% in three instalments by November 2028, and the remaining 60% upon delivery of the vessel. Concerning the 2022-built Capesize vessel, the agreement involves a 10% advance payment, while the remaining 90% of the purchase price will be payable upon the vessel’s delivery.
The newbuilding vessel will incorporate advanced eco-design features, intended to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Together, the two acquisitions will add modern high-quality tonnage at a delivery point, which is aligned with the next phase of the Company’s fleet renewal strategy and expected requirements.
To date, the Company has already paid $72.6 million for its newbuilding and fleet renewal program while maintaining a strong liquidity position.
Sale of M/V Squireship
In June 2026, the Company delivered to United Maritime Corporation, a related party, the 170,018 dwt M/V Squireship, built in 2010. The gross sale price was approximately $29.5 million, generating net proceeds of about $13.8 million. Seanergy continues to provide technical and management services to the vessel, facilitating the continuation of the vessel’s existing commercial employment.
Commercial Updates
Long-Term Time Charters for Three 2027-Delivery Newbuildings
In July 2026, the Company entered into multi-year time charter agreements for three scrubber-fitted Capesize newbuildings scheduled for delivery between the second and fourth quarters of 2027.
Two of our vessels to be delivered in 2027, to be named M/V Primeship and M/V Chrysship, have each been chartered for a period of five years to a leading European operator, with three optional extension periods of minimum 10 to maximum 14 months each. The third vessel, a 181,000 dwt Capesize vessel scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2027 has been chartered for four years to a major mining company, with two optional extension periods of about 11 to about 13 months. The charters are expected to commence upon the respective delivery of each vessel.
The agreements provide for average floor rates of approximately $23,100 per day, designed to cover the vessels’ estimated cash breakeven levels. Above the floor, hire is calculated at a significant premium over the BCI-180 up to an average upper threshold of approximately $29,750 per day. Above the upper threshold, incremental earnings based on the same premium over the BCI-180 are shared equally between Seanergy and the respective charterer.
M/V Kaizenship – New Time Charter agreement
In July 2026, the Company entered into a new time charter agreement with Oldendorff Carriers GmbH & Co. KG (“Oldendorff”) for the M/V Kaizenship, for a period of about 18 to about 28 months. The new time charter agreement with Oldendorff is expected to commence in August 2026. The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI, with an option for the Company to fix the rate for 1 to 16 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve.
M/V Blueship – New Time Charter agreement
In June 2026, the Company entered into a new time charter agreement with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (“NYK”) for the M/V Blueship, for a period of about minimum 14 to about maximum 17 months. The new time charter agreement with NYK is expected to commence in November 2026, in direct continuation of the maximum period of the current charter. The daily hire is based on the 5 T/C routes of the BCI along with a fixed daily premium, with an option for the Company to fix the rate for 2 to 12 months based on the prevailing Capesize FFA curve.
M/V Fellowship – Time Charter Extension
In July 2026, the existing charterer exercised its option to extend the time charter agreement for the M/V Fellowship until a minimum of January 2028 and a maximum of March 2028, with the extension commencing immediately upon the expiration of the current charter period.
M/V Friendship – Time Charter Extension
In June 2026, the existing charterer of the vessel exercised its option to extend the time charter agreement for M/V Friendship by six months beyond the current minimum/maximum charter period, in direct continuation from the previous agreement.
Financing Updates
Successful Completion of €100 Million Five-Year Unsecured Corporate Bond Offering
In July 2026, Seanergy successfully completed a €100 million unsecured bond offering to investors in Greece SHIPB1. The bonds were admitted to trading on the Fixed Income Securities Segment of Euronext Athens Holding S.A. on July 13, 2026.
The bonds were issued at par, mature in July 2031 and carry a coupon of 4.90% per annum, payable semi-annually. The five-year bullet structure involves no scheduled principal amortization before maturity, preserving liquidity during the construction phase of the Company’s newbuilding program.
Newbuilding Capesize vessel – Sale and Leaseback agreement
The Company has agreed to enter into a $60.0 million sale and leaseback agreement to partially finance the acquisition of the Capesize vessel scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2027.

The Company will have continuous purchase options at predetermined prices as set forth in the agreement, commencing two years after the charter commencement date. The charterhire principal will amortize in 28 quarterly instalments of $0.7 million along with a purchase option of $40.0 million at the expiry of the bareboat charter. The pre-delivery financing amounts will accrue interest, payable quarterly in arrears.
