Okeanis Eco Tankers drawing investors

Greece's Okeanis Eco Tankers Corporation is evolving into an international investment platform after its listing on the New York Stock Exchange in December, thanks to an impressive performance even compared to all fellow listed tanker companies.

The firm's shares began trading on December 11 on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "ECO," with founder Ioannis Alafouzos ringing the opening bell on January 26 for the start of trading.

This constitutes parallel trading, as the company's shares have also been traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2018.

Listing on the NYSE allows Okeanis to expand its investment reach and facilitate its vision to become the listed crude oil tanker platform of choice for investors worldwide. It has a fleet of 14 tankers, the youngest of any other listed tanker company, including six modern Suezmax tankers and eight modern VLCCs.
