The company has secured $3.4 billion in contracted revenue, providing forward coverage for an average of 3.5 years. A key highlight was the announcement of a 25% increase in the quarterly supplemental dividend, bringing the annualized dividend to $2.75 per common share. The company is actively executing a newbuilding program involving 17 vessels, with 15 already secured by multiyear charters and debt financing.
