If the contracts are extended, the additional remuneration for the shipowners is projected to be €30m for both projects combined.

The expected commencement dates for the ship charter are the second quarter of 2026 for Baltyk 2 and the third quarter of 2027 for Baltyk 3.

The contracts include standard maritime provisions, such as the charter period, optional extension, liability, insurance and termination rules.

The agreements are governed by English law.
