Imperial Petroleum sold the 2007-built Suezmax tanker, Suez Enchanted, for $49 million.
The company originally purchased the vessel in 2022. That acquisition was part of a two-ship deal totaling $46.8 million. This sale generates a significant profit following a sharp rise in tanker values over the last year.
Imperial Petroleum also released its second-quarter 2026 financial results today. The transaction provides fresh capital and locks in gains from the current market cycle. This move follows a broader trend of shipowners capitalizing on elevated vessel prices.
