Over the last few months, TOPS has focused on fleet and asset repositioning plus long-term charter coverage. On Nov 20, 2025, it extended a key MR tanker charter, adding an estimated $20.0M backlog. A Nov 28, 2025 LOI targeted Dubai real estate assets above $200M. The company later sold a mega yacht for $38.0M, then agreed in Feb 2026 to acquire nine ECO MR tanker newbuildings tied to potential backlog of about $679M. Today’s NAV disclosure sits on top of this expanding contracted-asset base.
