The sister ships Charleston Express, which is being renamed Velika Express, Yorktown Express (Mirador Express) and Washington Express (Sounion Trader) have already been delivered.

The remaining two ships, Philadelphia Express will be renamed Spartel Trader and St. Louis Express will be renamed Antibes Express in August.

The company operates a fleet of over 80 container vessels, bulk carriers, chemical and product tankers.
