Tsakos Energy Navigation (ISIN BMG9108L1735) generated USD 13.00 million in cash and a USD 4.60 million capital gain from selling the Panamax tanker Andes on September 28, 2026, according to Finanznachrichten. The transaction supports a fleet renewal program that combines vessel sales with newbuildings.

What the tanker sale means

The Andes transaction was part of a 26-vessel orderbook, with seven vessels already delivered, according to the same September 28 company release carried by Finanznachrichten. The release said TEN's energy fleet consisted of 80 vessels totaling 10.4 million deadweight tons.

For investors, the key issue is the balance between fleet modernization and cash generation. Selling an older vessel brings in liquidity and crystallizes a gain, while the orderbook adds future capacity and capital commitments.

First-half revenue reached USD 551.40 million

TEN reported USD 551.40 million in voyage revenue for the first half of 2026, up USD 161.00 million from the first half of 2025, according to Fidelity. Net income attributable to TEN reached USD 228.14 million, compared with USD 64.54 million a year earlier, while earnings per share rose to USD 7.12 from USD 1.70.

The result was supported by stronger tanker rates. Time charter equivalent revenue reached USD 43,503 per vessel per day in the first half of 2026, up 41.00 percent from USD 30,754 in the same period of 2025, while fleet utilization was 96.50 percent.

NYSE price and euro prior close

The stock closed at USD 50.05 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, against a 52-week range of USD 20.50 to USD 53.84 and a market capitalization of USD 1.5 billion. The prior close at Lang & Schwarz was EUR 43.46 on October 2, 2026.
