Revenue jumps 51% to £152.9 million from £101.3 million. ‘Sentiment in the short and medium-term, as measured by time charter rates, is broadly positive, and the vessel supply and freight demand pictures in the group’s two biggest markets, tankers and dry cargo, look promising for the foreseeable future,’ Braemar says.
