Seanergy Maritime Holdings’ corporate bond began trading on Euronext Athens on Tuesday, with Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stamatis Tsantanis ringing the traditional opening bell ceremony.
The Greek shipping company raised net proceeds of about 95.6 million euros from the bond issuance, which will be used to finance its investment programme, including newbuildings and the acquisition of high-quality second-hand vessels when suitable investment opportunities arise, according to management.
The bond carries an annual coupon of 4.9%, with interest payments made semi-annually, and matures in July 2031. The notes have been traded since July 13, 2026, in Euronext’s Fixed Income Securities segment.
“We transport key raw materials that are essential for the global economy, infrastructure and industrial development. We continue to invest in a modern and competitive fleet, with consistency, responsibility and a long-term vision,” Tsantanis said.
Referring to the use of proceeds, he added that the new financing would strengthen the company’s ability to continue its growth strategy and invest in its fleet, creating value for shareholders, investors and employees while contributing to the continued development of Greek shipping.
Euronext Athens Chief Financial Officer Nikos Koskoletos said the continued growth of the corporate bond market was a positive development for both the Greek capital market and companies seeking alternative sources of financing. He added that he hoped the cooperation with Seanergy would continue successfully in the future.
The importance of Seanergy’s listing on Euronext Athens’ fixed-income market was also highlighted by Hellenic Capital Market Commission Vice Chairwoman Anastasia Stamou, who described the issuance as a significant achievement for both the company and the Greek capital market.
She noted that the bond issue represented another example of a shipping company using the Greek capital market to raise funds, describing the development as an “especially positive signal” for the market’s outlook.
