Shipping Update
Maritime sector interest continues to gather momentum with several fleets now repeating orders and expanding use. Following the EPS adoption announcement, a considerable number of enquiries have been received.
Today, 44 (Q3 2023/4: 35) shipping companies are evaluating the product or expanding its use across their combined fleet size of c.4,800 (4,500) vessels. The pipeline remains very strong with 65 additional shipping companies in discussion to begin evaluations, which we expect to convert to revenue in the coming quarters.
Sulnox has also begun marketing its products in the Middle East and in China – supported by two successful roadshows in which several major shipping company owners and managers participated. The Company’s offering was very positively received, and we expect these initiatives to yield a number of product evaluations.
Radu Florescu, Chairman of Sulnox Group, commented:
“Q3 has delivered further strong growth in revenue and sales volumes and we are particularly encouraged by the Company’s ability to attract very significant new strategic partners and investors. These parties are well placed to help us accelerate our sales cycle and extend our reach to new markets. Trading in Q4 has made an excellent start and we look forward to announcing further positive developments in the remainder of the period.”
