The vessels are expected to be delivered to the buyers during January 2026.

Suezmax tanker pure play Nordic American Tankers reported disappointing third quarter results with both revenues and profitability missing consensus expectations by a wide margin. Despite the weak operating performance, the company declared a generous quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share, which is payable on December 22. Earlier this month, the company entered into a letter of intent with a Korean shipyard for the construction of two Suezmax tankers at a price of $86 million per vessel.

Friday, November 28, 2025   Dear Shareholders and Investors, The direction of NAT is on the upswing. Safety for crew, safety for ships and dividends remain our main priorities.

Friday, November 21, 2025   Dear Shareholders and Investors,   Nordic American Tankers Limited (NYSE:NAT) conducted its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") today, on November 21, 2025. We experienced a very high turnout at this year's AGM and all resolutions were approved and adopted at the Meeting: Election of Herbjorn Hansson, Alexander Hansson, Jenny Chu and Jim Kelly to serve as Directors of the Board.

Nordic American Tankers Limited is rated a Strong Buy due to its attractive dividend policy and modern, Suezmax-focused fleet. NAT benefits from rising spot market dayrates, with 70% of its vessels exposed to these rates, positioning NAT for substantial earnings growth. Structural tanker market shortages, aging global fleets, and robust oil demand support higher rates and long-term upside for NAT.
