European Maritime Finance, in partnership with Atlas Maritime, is excited to announce the successful sale and delivery of Green Star, a dual-fuel LNG Pure Car Truck Carrier (PCTC) capable of carrying 7,000 cars. The Green Star represents a significant advancement in maritime transport, uniquely designed to utilize Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as a cleaner fuel alternative compared to fuel oil. This sale marks another successful project for EMF and reflects the continued growth and resilience of the automotive transport sector.
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of another project, culminating in the sale of the vessel to the shipping division of AD Ports Group, based in Abu Dhabi. This transaction marks a strong outcome for our investors and demonstrates our continued ability to deliver optimized returns.
Atlas Maritime and European Maritime Finance have established a consistent track record of generating positive returns over the past decade, driven by strategic foresight and disciplined execution. The vessel was originally ordered at the low point of the PCTC market during the COVID-19 pandemic—a contrarian investment informed by a thorough analysis of fleet demographics and long-term demand trends. This approach was validated by the rapid growth in electric vehicle exports from China, which surged from approximately 1 million to nearly 6 million units annually. The resulting increase in demand for car carriers significantly boosted asset values, enabling a well-timed and profitable exit.
Thank you to all investors who participated in this project. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again in future opportunities.
