*Trade in vessels, both purchases and sales, is a key element of shipping operations. The right timing of purchases and sales of vessels can be crucial to long-term financial growth. For Concordia Maritime, this means that the fleet size may vary over time. For this reason, annual growth in the fleet is not an overall objective in itself. However, the aim is for operations to generate a return over time that allows average fleet growth of 10 percent over a business cycle.
