重型幹船塢維修計劃，有四艘船隻正在進行維護。作爲艦隊管理的一部分，重點大力減少債務，迄今已償還$10800萬。
Opportunities:
機會：
Revenue growth primarily driven by higher charter rates and the addition of larger, more profitable vessels to the fleet.
Strategic focus on Europe where freight rates are higher due to a shortage of well-maintained vessels and geographic trade restrictions that limit vessel movement from East to West.
營收增長主要受更高的租金率和將更大、更有利可圖的船隻加入艦隊的推動。
戰略重點放在歐洲，那裏的運費率較高，原因是缺少維護良好的船隻，以及地理貿易限制限制了從東向西船隻的移動。
Risks:
風險：
Potential fluctuations in market demand and freight rates impact profitability. The need to navigate costly European drydocking due to geographic operational constraints adds to operational expenses.
市場需求和運費率的潛在波動會影響盈利能力。由於地理運營限制導致歐洲幹船塢費用昂貴，這增加了運營開支。
