John C. Hadjipateras, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "Demand for VLGCs increased during our fiscal second quarter driven by increasing export volumes and end-user demand. This improvement is reflected in higher fleet utilization during the quarter and improvement in achieved TCE rates. While additional VLGCs scheduled for delivery in 2019 negatively impacts supply, we believe the market has become more balanced. We continue to focus on maximizing our commercial scale through our participation in the Helios LPG Pool and on delivering strong results. In particular, the fuel-efficiency of our modern fleet of ECO VLGCs is a significant competitive advantage. We believe that we are well positioned to deliver strong cash flows throughout the market cycle as a result of our low leverage, no near-term debt maturities and a best-in-class fleet."
