Heidmar Maritime Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:
$HMR) announced its first vessel acquisition, acquiring the C/V A. Obelix, a 1,702 TEU feeder container vessel, marking a strategic milestone in the company’s growth strategy.
Heidmar Inc. is a B2i Digital Featured Company. A full company profile will be available soon at https://b2idigital.com/featured-companies.
According to the release, the vessel comes with an approximate 2.5-year time charter to a leading operator. It is expected to generate a total aggregate EBITDA of approximately
$17 million to
$20 million over the charter period. The acquisition, from a related party at
$25.25 million, is supported by seller and debt financing.
Among other the notable information included in the release:
- The vessel was built in 2008 at Wadan/Aker Yards in Germany, is Ice Class II strengthened, and features a 330-plug reefer system
- Next drydock scheduled for 2028, allowing three years of operations with no projected upfront maintenance expense
- Expands Heidmar’s footprint beyond traditional tanker and dry bulk platforms into the structurally undersupplied feeder container segment
- Feeder segment has just 4% orderbook and 15-year average fleet age, supporting resilient charter rates.
Heidmar’s CEO, Pankaj Khanna, noted, “This marks an important milestone for Heidmar as we continue to broaden our platform and offer investors direct exposure to high-return shipping projects. The feeder container segment offers strong fundamentals with limited fleet growth and high charter visibility, offering an annualized cash-on-cash return of close to 30%. We’re excited to execute our first acquisition in this space, financed with seller credit and third-party debt arranged on competitive terms, and look forward to building further momentum within the second half of the year. This transaction is the Company’s first vessel acquisition since becoming a public company and underscores our ability to source and execute high-return, differentiated opportunities, while continuing to scale its commercial and technical management platform.”
