AMSC CEO, Pål Lothe Magnussen comments, "As announced yesterday, we are pleased
that Maritime Partners, a leading Jones Act leasing company, is acquiring our
Jones Act business. AMSC's ownership tenure has surpassed 18 years since the
ships were ordered, during which significant financial profits have been created
and provided to AMSC and its shareholders. We believe this transaction was a
good opportunity and point in time for us to reconsider capital allocation for
AMSC and strategy going forward. We will continue to own the Normand Maximus,
which is a great business to grow from as we look forward towards new
investments in the shipping and offshore markets."
