Winston Score History

The full picture

Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) is a Greek shipping company that transports crude oil and refined petroleum products around the world. It operates a fleet of tankers — large ships that carry oil from producers to refineries and from refineries to end markets. The company serves oil majors, national oil companies, and energy traders as its main customers.

TEN makes money by charging customers to use its ships, either through short-term spot market contracts or longer-term time charters where customers pay a fixed daily rate. The company is headquartered in Athens, Greece, and operates globally across major shipping routes in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific regions. Its fleet of roughly 60 vessels gives it scale, but the business is heavily exposed to tanker rate cycles — when global oil demand or shipping supply shifts, freight rates can swing sharply, making revenue unpredictable from year to year.
