Dry docking costs were $6.6 million, reflecting the maintenance of six vessels. Management fees rose to $1.6 million, in line with the fleet expansion. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.9 million, mainly due to higher stock-based compensation costs and reporting expenses. The company also reported an impairment loss of $9.0 million related to the spin-off of two drybulk carriers and a gain of $8.2 million from the sale of an aframax tanker. As of December 31, 2023, Imperial Petroleum had no outstanding debt, having repaid all loans amounting to $70 million earlier in the year. The company's liquidity was bolstered by cash and cash equivalents of $124 million. In terms of capital expenditures, Imperial Petroleum invested $28.1 million in acquiring two new vessels and received $3.9 million from vessel sales. The company's operational strategy involved a mix of spot market charters and time charters, with fleet operational utilization at 75.1%. The tanker market experienced strong charter rates, while the drybulk market saw a decline in rates throughout most of 2023. Looking ahead, Imperial Petroleum plans to continue evaluating vessel purchase opportunities and may consider selling certain vessels if favorable opportunities arise.
