On April 7, 2025, Performance Shipping Inc. announced a forward sale and exclusivity agreement for its 2009-built Aframax tanker, M/T P. Sophia, with an unaffiliated third party. This agreement allows the buyer exclusive rights to bid for the conversion of the vessel into a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel for an offshore project. If the buyer wins the project by April 5, 2026, they will purchase the vessel for $36,050,000, with a potential increase if delivered by September 30, 2025. This strategic move is aimed at securing cash flow and a firm sale price, independent of current tanker market conditions.
