PRESS RELEASE
FINAL FOR RELEASE
Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. Announces
Three New Time Charters
Super Handymax Navios Herakles - Two Years
Super Handymax Navios Arc - Two Years
Panamax Navios Titan - Three Years
PIRAEUS, Greece, April 17, 2007 /PRNewswire FirstCall/ Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (Navios) (NYSE: NM), a large, global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping company, announced today that it had secured three new favorable time charter contracts. Details of the three charters are as follows:
|
For Navioss wholly-owned 52,601 dwt super handymax, Navios Herakles, a two-year charter will commence on May 2, 2007 at a net rate of approximately $26,600 per day. |
|
For Navioss wholly-owned 53,524 dwt super handymax, Navios Arc, a two-year charter will commence on May 30, 2007 at a net rate of approximately $27,600 per day. |
|
For Navioss long-term, chartered-in 82,936 dwt panamax, Navios Titan, a three-year charter will commence late in the fourth quarter of 2007 at a net rate of approximately $27,100 per day. |
The time charter market continues to be strong, said Ms. Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and CEO of Navios. The charters announced today are at an average of approximately $10,000 per day higher than current charter-out rates.. We believe these charters will generate stable cash flow and shareholder value.
As a result of these new charters, Navios has extended the coverage of its core fleet (excluding vessels acquired through the Kleimar N.V. transaction) to 91.7% for 2007, 62.6% for 2008 and 19.9% for 2009.
Navios currently controls 46 vessels, of which 21 are owned and 25 are chartered-in. Of the chartered-in vessels, 16 are currently operating, and nine are still to be delivered. Navios holds eleven purchase options on the 25 chartered-in vessels, six on operating vessels, and five on the vessels still to be delivered. All of these purchase options are for exercise prices below the related vessels current market value.
