net asset value financial
"management estimates the Company’s net asset value as of June 30, 2026"
Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.
charter free vessel value financial
"taking into account the charter free vessel value estimates from third party brokers"
fully diluted basis financial
"on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of preferred shares and warrants"
A fully diluted basis counts every share that could exist if all outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights were exercised or converted into common stock, showing the maximum number of shares outstanding. For investors this matters because it spreads ownership and earnings across that larger share count, like slicing a pie into every possible piece before deciding how big each investor’s slice will be, which affects per-share value and ownership percentage.
MR tanker newbuildings technical
"newbuilding pipeline comprises of eight high-specification 47,499 dwt MR tanker newbuildings"
megayacht technical
"intend to sell the megayacht M/Y Para Bellvm and exit the megayacht sector"
