President & CEO Lois K. Zabrocky commented: “We concluded 2025 with our strongest quarter since the first quarter of 2024, with solid contributions from both the crude and product segments and a return of VLCCs as leaders in tanker earnings.

"Our fleet renewal activity in 2025 reflects the disciplined approach we strive to take across the cycles: monetizing older assets at attractive values while securing modern tonnage that positions the fleet for long-term trading opportunities.

"We remained active through the fourth quarter and into the start of the year, highlighted by the sales of older vessels, the strategic consolidation of Tankers International, and substantial returns to shareholders amid the strength of the tanker markets.

“Strong market fundamentals remain the underlying driver of tanker earnings, while today’s geopolitical environment has served as a powerful catalyst.

"Beneath the geopolitical headlines, we continue to see healthy oil demand growth of more than one million barrels per day, alongside supply growth from the Americas and OPEC+.

"On the supply side, while the orderbook stands at more than 15% of the existing fleet, nearly half of the fleet is expected to reach 20 years of age by the time those vessels deliver.

"At the same time, we are seeing increased enforcement actions targeting sanctioned tonnage, which now exceeds the size of the orderbook, and we expect this to constrain effective fleet growth in compliant trades.

"Against this backdrop, Seaways remains well positioned with our significant operating leverage to convert positive market dynamics into strong cash flow generation, supporting the continued execution of our disciplined capital allocation strategy.”
