NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elvictor Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: ELVG) (“Elvictor” or the “Company”) following the filing of its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 on November 15, 2021, provided today the following update on its corporate strategy. The Company's Financial Statements are available on the Company's website at www.elvictorgroup.com and www.sec.com.
Update on Corporate Strategy
Konstantinos Galanakis, Chief Executive Officer of Elvictor stated, “Elvictor is a leader in crew management, offering one-stop shop crewing solutions to our clients servicing over 110 vessels. Our management’s track record, client relations and our distinct operating advantages based on the use of technology and AI, favorably position us to benefit from industry trends.
Crew management is a complex and highly fragmented industry with more than 1,500 companies globally. Taking advantage of the cost synergies Elvictor’s Cloud platform offers, we intend to expand to new locations through a combination of organic growth and selected value adding transactions. This will allow us to expand our access to the global pool of seafarers, further enhancing our capacity to provide tailor made crewing solutions to our clients and creating value for them.
Furthermore, given the industry’s strong focus on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) issues, as the only publicly listed crewing company, we hope to become the business partner of choice for a much wider circle of shipping companies which can thus benefit not only from our operational efficiency but also from our transparency and commitment to ESG issues.
While we will continue to focus on our core business, we will also seek potential opportunities through vertical integration in the broader maritime services ecosystem, such as ship management and selective asset acquisitions. These are expected to provide a proof of concept for our capability to provide quality ship management services at very competitive prices due to cost efficiencies generated by our platform and will improve the company’s profitability through chartering revenue and enhance our revenue sources.
To this effect, as already announced, our wholly owned subsidiary, Ultra Ship Management Inc., has received its DNV approved Interim Document of Compliance provided under the authority granted by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Elvictor has also expanded the SaaS Platform of its Ship Management services to include commercial, technical, and operations management support.
This is a very exciting and transformative time for Elvictor and our shareholders as we set out to take full advantage of the opportunities ahead implementing the next phase of our growth strategy.”
