Heidmar Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company" or "Heidmar") (NASDAQ:HMR) today announces its first vessel acquisition, making it a strategic milestone in the Company's project development and growth strategy.
Heidmar has entered into an agreement to acquire C/V A. Obelix, a 1,702 TEU cellular/gearless feeder container vessel, built in 2008 at Wadan/Aker Yards, Wismar Germany. C/V A. Obelix is classed by Lloyd's Register and has been strengthened for Ice Class II operations. The vessel is powered by a two-stroke main engine and is equipped with a bow thruster, allowing for a high degree of maneuverability and independence in port operations, and a high-capacity 330-plug reefer system. The vessel's next drydock is scheduled for 2028 allowing for three clear years of operations with no projected upfront maintenance expense.
Heidmar is acquiring its interest in the vessel from a related party at an aggregate purchase price of $25.25 million. The security of the charter revenue and the end-of-life recycling price are expected to effectively cover the cost of the acquisition in case of the high EBITDA scenario.
