Lysaker, 15 November 2018, American Shipping Company ASA (“AMSC” or the “Company”) announces results for third quarter ending 30 September 2018.

HIGHLIGHTS

AMSC CEO, Pål Magnussen comments, “We are encouraged to see an increasing amount of time charter contracts in the Jones Act tanker market on the back of continued growing demand for moving domestic crude oil from the U.S. Gulf to the Northeast refineries. The price spread between WTI versus the Bonny Light and Brent crudes is a key driver for this development. This spread has remained in a favorable range for the past 12 months and charterers have now started to secure tonnage with longer commitments.”

The full report is attached, along with the Q3 presentation.
