Vessel

operating

expenses

decreased

by

$2.1

million,

or

5%,

to

$40.0

million in

the six

months ended

June 30,

2025, compared to

$42.1 million in

the six

months ended

June

30, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in ownership days in

the six months ended June 30,

2025 by 394 days, which was

due to the decrease in the

size of the fleet.

T

he

decrease

in

operating

expenses

was

partly

offset

by

increased

crew

cost,

mainly

due

to

the

10

fluctuation in

the exchange

rates (USD/EUR),

crew travelling

expenses and

training for

crew.

Total

daily

operating expenses

were $5,905

in the

six months

ended June

six

months ended June 30, 2024.

Depreciation

and

amortization

of

deferred

charges

increased by

$0.7 million, or

3%,

to

$22.8 million in

the

six

months

ended

June

30,

2025, compared

to

$22.1

million

in

the

six

months

ended

June

30,

2024.

This

fluctuation was

attributed to

the

increased

amortization

of

deferred cost,

due to

the

increased

number

of

vessels

that

underwent

scheduled

drydock

and special surveys in

the first half of

2025 compared to the

same period in 2024.

This was partly offset

by

decreased depreciation due to the decrease in the size of the fleet.
