AMSC CEO, Pål Lothe Magnussen comments, “We are pleased to deliver another stable quarter of financial results, but note that the effects of COVID-19 are becoming more visible in the Jones Act tanker market. We expect the time charter market to be volatile in the near term, but have seen some spot and term market activity in January, which is an encouraging sign. AMSC remains insulated from short term volatility with bareboat contracts in place for the entire fleet.”

The full report is attached, along with the Q4 presentation.
