Telephone Voting

Shareholders of record may also vote by calling the following toll-free telephone number: 1-800-652-8683 within the United States and Canada from a touch tone telephone. Please follow the instructions provided by the recorded message.

If you vote by Internet or telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card or voting instruction form.

Shareholders of Record and Beneficial Owners

If your shares are registered directly in your name on the books of the Company maintained with the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the “shareholder of record” of those shares and, if you request to receive a paper copy of them, the proxy materials will be mailed directly to you.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name (also called a “street name” holder), and, if you request to receive a paper copy of them, the proxy materials will be forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the 2019 Annual General Meeting. However, since you are not a shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2019 Annual General Meeting unless you bring with you a legal proxy duly executed by the shareholder of record. A legal proxy may be obtained from your broker, bank or other nominee.

VOTING OF PROXY, REVOCATION

A proxy that is properly executed, whether on the Internet, by telephone or by mail, and not subsequently revoked will be voted in accordance with instructions contained therein. If no instructions are given with respect to the matters to be acted upon, proxies will be voted as follows: (1) for the election of Denis Petropoulos, Efstratios Georgios Arapoglou and Maria Vassalou as directors, (2) for the approval of the Company’s 2018 audited financial statements, (3) for the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas) as the Company’s auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 and to authorize the Audit Committee to set their remuneration, (4) for the approval of the directors’ remuneration, and (5) otherwise in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxy on any other matter properly brought before the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

Any shareholder who votes by completing and returning by mail the proxy card or voting instruction card or by using the Internet or by telephone, may revoke its proxy or change its vote at any time before it is voted at the 2019 Annual General Meeting by (A) delivering written notice to the Secretary of the Company of its revocation, (B) executing and delivering to the Secretary of the Company a later dated proxy by using the Internet, by telephone or by mail, or (C) by appearing in person at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and voting his, her or its shares in person.

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

Proxies are being solicited by our Board. The expenses of the preparation of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for the 2019 Annual General Meeting will be borne by the Company on behalf of the Board. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited in person, by telephone, telecopy, electronically, or other means, or by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company who will not receive additional compensation for such solicitations. If you choose to vote on the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may incur. D.F. King Co. Inc. has been engaged by the Company to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $15,000, plus their costs and expenses. Although there is no formal agreement to do so, the Company will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the Company’s common shares, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Shares”).

VOTING SECURITIES

Holders of record of the Company’s Common Shares as of the close of business on April 12, 2019 will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2019 Annual General Meeting or any adjournments thereof. On that date there were 87,604,645 Common Shares outstanding, the holders of which are entitled to one vote for each share registered in their names with respect to each matter to be voted on at the 2019 Annual General Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters) of two shareholders of record will constitute a quorum at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

Assuming that a quorum is present at the 2019 Annual General Meeting, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the 2019 Annual General Meeting by holders of Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy. Approval of other items at the 2019 Annual General Meeting requires that the number of votes cast in favour of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, whether in person or by proxy. Withholding authority to vote for directors and broker non-votes will not affect the election of directors or the outcome of the vote on other proposals.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTING RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR Item No. 1, the election of each nominee to the Board of Directors; FOR Item No. 2, the approval of the Company’s 2018 audited financial statements; FOR

2

Item No. 3, the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas), as the Company’s auditors and authorization of the Audit Committee to set their remuneration; and FOR Item No. 4, the approval of the remuneration of the directors.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding Common Shares as of April 12, 2019 held by:

• each person or entity that we know beneficially owns 5% or more of our Common Shares; and

• all of our directors, director nominees and officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In general, a person who has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to securities is treated as a beneficial owner of those securities. Beneficial ownership does not necessarily imply that the named person has the economic or other benefits of ownership. Under SEC rules, shares subject to options, warrants or rights currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are considered as beneficially owned by the person holding those options, warrants or rights. The applicable percentage of ownership of each shareholder is based on 87,604,645 Common Shares outstanding on April 12, 2019.

However, apart from the shareholders indicated in the footnotes (1) and (2) above and certain of the directors and officers, we believe that the majority of the remaining shareholders are resident in the United States. The Company is not aware of any arrangements the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our business is managed under the direction of the Board, in accordance with the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the “Companies Act”) and our Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through: discussions with the Chairman of the Board, the President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of our management team; the review of materials provided to directors; and, participation in meetings of the Board and its committees. In accordance with our Bye-laws, the Board has specified that the number of directors will be set at no less than five nor more than fifteen. At December 31, 2018 we had nine directors on our Board. At its May 25, 2018 meeting, the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Mr. Petropoulos as an additional Director and as member in the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee. Mr. Petropoulos is standing for election at this year’s Annual General Meeting. Under our Bye-laws, one third (or the number nearest one third) of the Board (with the exception of any executive director) retires by rotation each year. The Bye-laws require that the one third of the directors to retire by rotation be those who have been in office longest since their last appointment or re-appointment. The Bye-laws specify that where the directors to retire have been in office for an equal length of time, those to retire are to be determined by lot (unless they agree otherwise among themselves). From the current directors, Mr. Arapoglou and Dr. Vassalou have been selected to stand for re-election at this year’s Annual General Meeting.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the full Board held four meetings, of which three were in person and one by teleconference. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board and all of the meetings of committees of which such director was a member in 2018, except for one director, who attended at least 75% of such meetings.

Independence of Directors

The foundation for the Company’s corporate governance is the Board’s policy that a majority of the members of the Board should be independent. With the exception of the two Executive Directors (Messrs. Tsakos and Saroglou) and one Non-executive Director (Mr. Jolliffe), the Board believes that each of the other incumbent directors (Messrs. Tommasino, Arapoglou, Mitropoulos and Petropoulos and Drs. Patrinos and Vassalou) is independent under the standards established by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) because none has a material relationship with the Company directly or indirectly or any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment as directors of the Company.

The Board made its determination of independence in accordance with its Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify standards and a process for evaluating director independence. The Guidelines provide that:

• A director cannot be independent if he or she fails to meet the objective requirements as to “independence” under the NYSE listing standards.

• If a director meets the objective NYSE standards, he or she will be deemed independent, absent unusual circumstances, if in the current year and the past three years the director has had no related-party transaction or relationship with the Company or an “interlocking” relationship with another entity triggering disclosure under SEC rules.

• If a director who meets the objective NYSE independence requirements either has had a disclosable transaction or relationship or the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee requests that the Board consider any other circumstances in determining the director’s independence, the Board will make a determination of the director’s independence.

To promote open discussion among the independent directors, those directors met three times in 2018 in regularly scheduled executive sessions without participation of the Company’s management and will continue to do so in 2019. Dr. Patrinos serves as the Presiding Director for purposes of these meetings.

Documents Establishing Our Corporate Governance

The Board and the Company’s management have engaged in an ongoing review of our corporate governance practices in order to oversee our compliance with the applicable corporate governance rules of the NYSE and the SEC.

The Company has adopted a number of key documents that are the foundation of its corporate governance, including:

• a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees;

• a Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Charter; and

• an Audit Committee Charter.

These documents and other important information on our governance, including the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, are posted in the “Investor Relations” section of the Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited website, and may be viewed at http://www.tenn.gr. We will also provide any of these documents in hard copy upon the written request of a shareholder. Shareholders may direct their requests to the attention of Investor Relations, c/o George Saroglou or Paul Durham, Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited, 367 Syngrou Avenue, 175 64 P. Faliro, Athens, Greece.

The Board has a long-standing commitment to sound and effective corporate governance practices. The Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines address a number of important governance issues such as:

• Selection and monitoring of the performance of the Company’s senior management;

• Succession planning for the Company’s senior management;

• Qualifications for membership on the Board;

• Functioning of the Board, including the requirement for meetings of the independent directors; and

• Standards and procedures for determining the independence of directors.

The Board believes that the Corporate Governance Guidelines and other governance documents meet current requirements and reflect a very high standard of corporate governance.

Committees of the Board

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee, a Business Development and Capital Markets Committee and an Operational, Safety and Environmental (“OSE”) Committee.

The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which is approved and adopted annually by the Board. The Board has determined that the continuing members of the Audit Committee meet the applicable independence requirements, and that all continuing members of the Audit Committee meet the requirement of being financially literate. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and is responsible for, among other matters:

• approving in advance all audit and non-audit services provided by the auditors;

• approving all fees paid to the auditors;

10

Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee

The current members of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee are Messrs. Arapoglou, Mitropoulos, Tommasino and Petropoulos and Drs. Patrinos and Vassalou, each of whom is an independent director. Dr. Patrinos serves as the Chairman of the committee.

• overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management;

• arranging for an annual performance evaluation of the committee and producing an annual report to the Board;

• reviewing regularly the Board structure, size and composition and making recommendations to the Board with regard to any adjustments that are deemed necessary;

• implementing plans for succession, making recommendations to the Board for the continuation in service of an executive director and recommending directors who are retiring by rotation to be put forward for re-election;

• determining the compensation of the non-executive directors, determining and administering the Company’s long-term incentive plans, including any equity-based plans and grants under them; and

Business Development and Capital Markets Committee

The current members of the Business Development and Capital Markets Committee are Messrs. Arapoglou, Jolliffe, Saroglou and Tsakos and Dr. Vassalou. Mr. Jolliffe is Chairman of the committee. The Business Development and Capital Markets Committee was established in 2014 for the purpose of overseeing the financial policies and activities of the Company and its subsidiaries relating to the Company’s capital structure and capital raising activities. The committee reviews and approves presentations to, and communications with, shareholders, financial analysts, and potential investors and oversees the establishment and maintenance of the Company’s relations with investment banks and financial institutions, as well as the development and expansion of the Company’s business, including the evaluation of strategic growth opportunities.

The current members of the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee are Messrs. Jolliffe, Mitropoulos and Papageorgiou and Dr. Patrinos. Mr. Mitropoulos is Chairman of the committee. The primary role of the OSE Committee is to draw the attention of the Board and the Company’s management to issues of concern regarding the safety of crew and vessels and the impact of the maritime industry on the environment, to provide an update on related legislation and technological innovations, and more specifically highlight areas in which the Company itself may play a more active role in being in the forefront of adopting operational procedures and technologies that will ensure maximum safety for crew and vessels and contribute to a better environment.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Board Compensation

We pay no cash compensation to our directors who are executive officers. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the aggregate cash compensation of all of the members of the Board was $630,000 per the following annual fee schedule which was approved by the shareholders of the Company on May 25, 2018:

• Service on the Board - $60,000

• Service on the Audit Committee - $20,000

• Service on the Business Development and Capital Markets Committee - $10,000

• Service on the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee - $10,000

• Service as Chairman of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee -$10,000

• Service as Chairman of the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee - $10,000

• Service as Chairman of the Audit Committee - $30,000

• Service as Chairman of the Business Development and Capital Markets Committee - $30,000

• Service as Chairman of the Board - $40,000

No fees are paid for service solely as a member of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee.

We do not provide benefits for directors upon termination of their service with us.

We do not propose any changes to the fee schedule set forth above for 2019. In Item No. 4, the Board recommends that the shareholders re-approve such fee schedule to be payable to non-management directors for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Management Company

Tsakos Energy Management Limited (“Tsakos Energy Management”), under its management agreement with us, provides overall executive and commercial management of our affairs in exchange for a monthly management fee. We paid Tsakos Energy Management management fees of $20.2 million in 2018.

From the management fee we pay it, Tsakos Energy Management pays Tsakos Columbia Shipmanagement S.A. (“TCM”), a joint venture between Tsakos Shipping & Trading S.A. (“Tsakos Shipping”) and Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd, a management fee for its services as technical and operational manager of most of the vessels in our fleet. We prepay or reimburse TCM at cost for all vessel operating expenses payable by them in their capacity as technical manager of the fleet. At December 31, 2018, outstanding advances to TCM amounted to $20.9 million and there was an amount due to Tsakos Shipping of $0.5 million for the commercial management services they provide. In 2018, an additional amount of $2.4 million was paid in fees directly by the Company to TCM for additional services it provided or arranged in relation to information technology, application of corporate governance procedures required by the Company and seafarers’ training.

In 2018 and 2017, we paid Tsakos Energy Management an incentive award of $0.95 million and $1.15 million, respectively.

Management Agreement

Our management agreement with Tsakos Energy Management was amended and restated on March 8, 2007 and has a term of ten years that renews annually. Tsakos Energy Management may terminate the management

14

agreement at any time upon not less than one year’s notice. In addition, either party may terminate the management agreement under certain circumstances, including the following:

• certain events of bankruptcy or liquidation involving either party;

• a material breach by either party; or

• a failure by Tsakos Energy Management, for a continuous period of two months, materially to perform its duties because of certain events of force majeure.

Moreover, following a change in control of us, which would occur if at least one director were elected to our Board without having been recommended by our existing Board, Tsakos Energy Management may terminate the agreement on 10 business days’ notice. If Tsakos Energy Management terminates the agreement for this reason, then we would immediately be obligated to pay Tsakos Energy Management the present discounted value of all of the payments that would have otherwise been due under the management agreement up until June 30 of the tenth year following the date of termination plus the average of the incentive awards previously paid to Tsakos Energy Management multiplied by ten. Under these terms, therefore, a termination as of December 31, 2018 would have resulted in a payment of approximately $161.8 million. Under the terms of the Management Agreement between the Company and Tsakos Energy Management, the Company may terminate the agreement only under specific circumstances, such as breach of contract by the manager and change of control in the shareholding of the manager without the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Management Compensation

Messrs. Tsakos, Saroglou, Durham and Papageorgiou serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, and Chief Marine Officer, respectively. Such individuals are employees of Tsakos Energy Management, except for Mr. Papageorgiou who is an employee of Tsakos Shipping, and, except for the equity compensation discussed below and the compensation paid to Mr. Papageorgiou for service on the OSE Committee, are not directly compensated by the Company. Although he is not a member of the Board, our Chief Marine Officer, Mr. Papageorgiou serves on the Operational, Safety and Environmental Committee and receives the same $10,000 per annum cash compensation for service on such committee as is paid to non-executive members of the Board serving thereon.

Employees

Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited has no salaried employees. All crew members are employed by the owning-company of the vessel on which they serve, except where the vessel may be on a bareboat charter-out, or where the vessels or the crewing thereof, are under third-party management arranged by our technical managers. All vessel owning-companies are subsidiaries of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited. Approximately 1,900 officers and crew members served on board the vessels we own and were managed by our technical managers as of December 31, 2018.

Share Ownership

The Common Shares beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers and/or companies affiliated with these individuals are disclosed in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above.

Stock Compensation Plan

At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved a share-based incentive plan (the “2012 Plan”). This plan permits us to grant share options or other share based awards to our directors and officers, to the officers of the vessels in the fleet, and to the directors, officers and employees of our manager, Tsakos Energy Management, and our commercial manager, Tsakos Shipping.

15

The purpose of the 2012 Plan is to provide a means to attract, retain, motivate and reward the persons whose performance of administrative, commercial, management, technical and maritime services are important for the Company by increasing their ownership in our Company. Awards under the 2012 Plan may include options to purchase our common shares, restricted share awards, other share-based awards (including share appreciation rights granted separately or in tandem with other awards) or a combination thereof.

The 2012 Plan is administered by our Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee. Such committee has the authority, among other things, to: (i) select the present or prospective directors, officers, consultants and other personnel entitled to receive awards under the 2012 Plan; (ii) determine the form of awards, or combinations of awards; (iii) determine the number of shares covered by an award; and (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any awards granted under the 2012 Plan, including any restrictions or limitations on transfer, any vesting schedules or the acceleration of vesting schedules and any forfeiture provision or waiver of the same. The 2012 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 Common Shares in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or options. In 2017, 110,000 RSUs were issued to the non-executive directors of the Company, which vested immediately. In 2016, 87,500 RSUs were also issued to the non-executive directors of the Company, which vested immediately. In 2018, no RSUs or other awards were issued.

As of December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding (non-vested) RSUs.

Total stock compensation expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $nil, for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $0.5 million and for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $0.5 million.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Tsakos Energy Navigation Audit Committee of the Board is composed entirely of non-management directors. Each of the members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and financial literacy requirements set forth by the SEC and the NYSE and Nicholas F. Tommasino, Efstratios Georgios Arapoglou and Maria Vassalou each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

The Audit Committee of the Board operates pursuant to a written charter, which may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at http://www.tenn.gr. In accordance with this charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and system of internal controls. The Audit Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis.

The Company’s management team has the primary responsibility of the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The Audit Committee assists the Board in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting processes. Specifically, the Audit Committee:

• Reviewed and discussed the Company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, with Company management and Ernst & Young (Hellas), its Independent Auditors.

• The Committee also reviewed related issues and disclosure items, including the Company’s earnings press releases, and performed its regular review of critical accounting policies and the processes by which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certify the information contained in its quarterly and annual filings.

• Discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Committee also received the written disclosures and letter from Ernst & Young (Hellas) required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) their independence and related matters.

• As part of its review of audit matters, the Audit Committee supervises the relationship between the Company and its independent public accountants, including: having responsibility to recommend to the Board for Shareholder approval the selection, compensation and retention of the independent public accountants; approving the nature and type of their services; approving their audit and non-audit services; reviewing the plan for and the results of the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; and confirming their independence. The Audit Committee has evaluated Ernst & Young (Hellas)’s qualifications, performance and independence, including that of the lead audit partner. As part of the engagement process, the Audit Committee considers whether to rotate the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board that the shareholders approve the selection of Ernst & Young (Hellas) as the Company’s independent public accountants for the year 2019.

During the year 2018, the Audit Committee held four meetings. During such meetings, the Audit Committee met with representatives of Ernst & Young (Hellas), both with management present and in private sessions without management present, to discuss the results of the audit and to solicit their evaluation of the Company’s accounting principles, practices and judgments applied by management and the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls. At such in person meetings, the Audit Committee also met in private sessions with the Internal Audit Manager, who reports directly to the Audit Committee, to discuss the audit results for 2018 and audit plans for 2019. The Audit Committee continually reviews specific areas of risk management with the Company.

17

In performing the above described functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of Company management and the independent public accounting firm, which, in their report, expresses an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s annual financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In addition, in reliance upon the reviews and discussions as outlined above, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC and presentation to the Company’s shareholders.

Exhibit 99.4

Chairman’s Letter

April 18, 2019

Dear Shareholders,

Looking back at 2018, we can say that it was probably the worst spot market for our industry in recent memory. The year started with the first three consecutive quarters seriously testing the resilience of operators, with the last quarter showing strong signs of the long-awaited recovery.

This challenging period did not prevent TEN from meeting all its obligations and continuing paying a steady dividend, thanks to its balanced and perfectly executed by management long-term strategy.

Approximately 70% of our fleet continues to be deployed in accretive time charters with blue chip counter parties, most with profit sharing arrangements that are now are beginning to pay-off, as the market is gradually improving. This continues to cover the company’s obligations. The remaining 30% of the fleet is deployed in the spot market, strategically positioned to benefit from positive swings. Against this improving market environment, TEN continues to strive for best in class operational excellence, steadily reducing costs while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Last year saw the successful completion of our record fifteen vessel new building program, with all new state of the art vessels tied to accretive long-term charters. These, together with an additional four new buildings added in early 2019, offer us a much larger critical mass and a broader range of vessels to better serve our customers, under our adopted industrial model.

Furthermore and in line with our strategy, we will continue to divest selected vessels, to maintain a low average fleet age and manage it effectively.

As mentioned in the past we continue to focus in further expanding our exposure in the LNG sector, always with secured long-term employment for our vessels. We believe that this sector will continue to grow going forward, offering great opportunities.

However, at the same time we are fully aware of the complexities of this business related to continuously evolving technology, a heavier than anticipated new-order book, high capital investment and recently strong, yet relatively volatile markets. These considerations force us to prepare our expansion in this sector in a careful and measured way.

On behalf of all members of the Board of Directors of TEN, I’d like to once again commend Nikolas Tsakos and his team for safely navigating the company in 2018.

Lastly, I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their cooperation and support in successfully guiding management in designing and monitoring our successful strategy, always adhering to the highest Corporate Governance and strict Control standards. The quality of their contribution through their participation in the various Board Committees throughout the year has been, once again, invaluable.

With best wishes to all,

Takis Arapoglou

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), according to Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal controls over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, in any system of internal control there are inherent limitations and consequently internal control over financial reporting may not absolutely prevent or detect misstatements.

The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management has performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the criteria established within Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework).

Based on our assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 was effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) / income, other comprehensive (loss) / income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated April 12, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the US federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2002.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of

Directors of TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) / income, other comprehensive (loss) / income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and our report dated April 12, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation and description of business: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited (the “Holding Company”), and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Holding Company consolidated one variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, i.e. it has a controlling financial interest in this entity. A VIE is an entity that in general does not have equity investors with voting rights or that has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when a company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and absorbs a majority of an entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of an entity’s expected residual returns, or both.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which requires separate presentation of certain transactions, which are recorded directly as components of stockholders’ equity. The Company presents Other Comprehensive Income in a separate statement.

The Company owns and operates a fleet of crude oil and product carriers including two vessels chartered-in and two LNG carriers providing worldwide marine transportation services under long, medium or short-term charters.

New revenue recognition guidance

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method only to contracts that were not completed at January 1, 2018. The prior period comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods. Its adoption mainly changed the method of recognizing revenue over time for voyage charters from the discharge-to-discharge method to the loading-to-discharge method. Under the loading-to-discharge method the commencement date of each voyage charter shall be deemed to be upon the loading of the current cargo, decreasing the period of time for recognizing revenue for voyages. The effect of the adoption of the new accounting standard resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $1,311 in the opening balance of the retained earnings for the fiscal year 2018, as a result of the change in the recognition method of revenues related to voyage charters and their fulfillment costs.

Had ASC 606 not been adopted, (i) voyage revenues would have been $531,256 for the year ended December 31, 2018, (ii) voyage expenses would not have been materially different for the year ended December 31, 2018, (iii) trade accounts receivables would have been $36,728 as of December 31, 2018, (iv) accrued liabilities would not have been materially different as of December 31, 2018 and (v) no capitalized voyage expenses would have been recognized as of December 31, 2018. Had ASC 606 not been adopted, our total equity would have been $1,509,338 and our net loss would have been $97,953, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018, or $(1.12) basic and diluted loss per share (Note 1(n)).

(b) Statement of Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)—Restricted Cash, which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the aforementioned ASU. The only effect of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 was to remove from the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows and the beginning period and ending period cash balances to include restricted cash. The comparative period of the statement of cash flow has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18.

(c) Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and expenses, reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Although actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not believe that such differences would be material.

(d) Other Comprehensive Income: The statement of other comprehensive (loss) income, presents the change in equity (net assets) during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Reclassification adjustments are presented out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the face of the statement in which the components of other comprehensive (loss) income are presented or in the notes to the financial statements. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”, and presents items of net income, items of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and total comprehensive income in two separate and consecutive statements.

(e) Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets in which the U.S. Dollar is utilized to transact most business. The accounting books of the Company are also maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected within Operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

(f) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: The Company classifies highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit and their equivalents with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Cash deposits with certain banks that may only be used for special purposes (including loan repayments) are classified as Restricted cash.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

(g) Accounts Receivable, Net: Accounts receivable, net at each balance sheet date includes estimated recoveries from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings and revenue earned but not yet billed, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts (nil as of December 31, 2018 and 2017). Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company’s management at each balance sheet date reviews all outstanding invoices and provides allowances for receivables deemed uncollectible primarily based on the aging of such balances and any amounts in dispute.

(h) Inventories: Inventories consist of bunkers, lubricants, victualling and stores and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost is determined primarily by the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs.

(i) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of vessels. Vessels are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of vessels includes the contract price and pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction and delivery of new buildings, including capitalized interest, and expenses incurred upon acquisition of second-hand vessels. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise they are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated remaining economic useful lives of the vessels, less an estimated residual value based on a scrap price.

(j) Impairment of Vessels: The Company reviews vessels for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a vessel may not be recoverable. When such indicators are present, a vessel to be held and used is tested for recoverability by comparing the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition to its carrying amount. Net operating cash flows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding the use or probability of sale of each vessel, future revenues net of commissions, operating expenses, scheduled dry-dockings, expected off-hire and scrap values, and taking into account historical revenue data and published forecasts on future world economic growth and inflation. Should the carrying value of the vessel exceed its estimated future undiscounted net operating cash flows, impairment is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair market value of the asset. The Company determines the fair value of its vessels based on management estimates and assumptions and by making use of available market data and taking into consideration third party valuations. The review of the carrying amounts in connection with the estimated recoverable amount for certain of the Company’s vessels and an advance for a vessel under construction, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, indicated an impairment charge of $65,965 and $8,922, respectively (Note 4). No impairment charge was indicated as of December 31, 2016.

(k) Reporting Assets held for sale: It is the Company’s policy to dispose of vessels when suitable opportunities occur and not necessarily to keep them until the end of their useful life. Long-lived assets are classified as held for sale when all applicable criteria enumerated under ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” are met and are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. At December 31, 2018, there were no vessels held for sale. At December 31, 2017, the Company considered that the VLCC Millennium met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

(I) Accounting for Special Survey and Dry-docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking and special survey costs whereby actual costs incurred are reported in Deferred Charges and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due (approximately every five years during the first fifteen years of vessels’ life and every two and a half years within the remaining useful life of the vessels). Costs relating to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The unamortized portion of special survey and dry-docking costs for a vessel that is sold is included as part of the carrying amount of the vessel in determining the gain or loss on sale of the vessel.

(m) Loan Costs: Costs incurred for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing loans are capitalized and included in deferred charges and amortized over the term of the respective loan, using the effective interest rate method. Any unamortized balance of costs relating to loans repaid or refinanced as debt extinguishments is expensed in the period the repayment or extinguishment is made. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, is presented as a reduction of long-term debt (Note 6).

(n) Revenue from Contracts with Customers: ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in each contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in each contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and contract’s fulfillment costs should be capitalized and amortized over the voyage period, if certain criteria are met—for incremental costs if only they are chargeable to the customer and for contract’s fulfillment costs if each of the following criteria are met: (i) they relate directly to the contract, (ii) they generate or enhance entity’s resources that shall be used in performance obligation satisfaction and (iii) are expected to be recovered.

Further, in case of incremental costs, entities may elect, in accordance with the practical expedient of ASC 340 “Other assets and deferred costs”, not to capitalize them in cases of amortization period (voyage period) less than one year.

Accounting for Revenue and Expenses: Voyage revenues are generated from voyage charter agreements and contracts of affreightment, time or bareboat charter agreements (including profit sharing clauses).

Voyage charters and contracts of affreightment: Charters where a contract is made in the spot market for the use of a vessel for a specific voyage for a specified freight rate per ton, regardless of time to complete. Contracts of affreightment are contracts for multiple voyage charter employments. The Company has determined that under voyage charters, the charterer has no right to control any part of the use of the vessel. Thus, the Company’s voyage charters do not contain lease and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. More precisely, the Company satisfies its single performance obligation to transfer cargo under the contract over the voyage period. Thus, revenues from voyage charters on the spot market or under contract of affreightment are recognized ratably from commencement of cargo loading to completion of discharge of the current cargo. Voyage charter payments are due upon discharge of the cargo. Revenues from voyage charters and contracts of affreightment amounted to $184,779 and $196,590 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Demurrage revenue, which is included in voyage revenues, represents charterers’ reimbursement for any potential delays exceeding the allowed lay time as per charter party agreement and is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company has decided to apply the optional exemption not to disclose the value of the undelivered performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Time and bareboat charters: Here a contract exists and the vessel is delivered (commencement date) to the charterer, for a fixed period of time, at rates that are generally determined in the main body of charter parties and the relevant voyage expenses burden the charterer (i.e. port dues, canal tolls, pilotages and fuel consumption). The charterer has the right, upon delivery of the vessel, to control the use of the vessel as it has the enforceable right to: (i) decide the (re)delivery time of the vessel; (ii) arrange the ports from which the vessel shall pass; (iii) give directions to the master of the vessel regarding vessel’s operations (i.e. speed, route, bunkers purchases, etc.); (iv) sub-charter the vessel and (v) consume any income deriving from the vessel’s charter. Thus, time and bareboat charter agreements are accounted for as operating leases, ratably on a straight line over the duration of the charter basis in accordance with ASC 840. Any off-hires are recognized as incurred.

Profit sharing contracts are accounted for as variable consideration and included in the transaction price to the extent that variable amounts earned beyond an agreed fixed minimum hire are determinable at the reporting date and when there is no uncertainty associated with the variable consideration. Profit-sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charter’s average daily income over an agreed amount.

Revenue from time charter hire arrangements with an escalation clause is recognized on a straight-line basis over the charter term unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the vessel is employed. The charterer may charter the vessel with or without owner’s crew and other operating services (time and bareboat charter, respectively). Revenues from time charter hire arrangements amounted to $345,100 and $332,592 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

Voyage related and vessel operating costs: Voyage expenses primarily consist of commissions (i.e. brokerage and address), port charges, canal dues and bunker (fuel) costs relating to spot charters or contract of affreightment. These voyage expenses are borne by the Company unless the vessel is on time-charter, in which case they are borne by the charterer. All voyage expenses are expensed as incurred, apart from bunker expenses which consist part of the contract fulfillment costs and are recognized as a deferred contract cost and amortized over the voyage period when the relevant criteria under ASC 340-40 are met. Unamortized deferred contract costs are included in the consolidated balance sheet under Capitalized voyage expenses. Commissions are expensed as incurred. Vessel operating costs include crew costs, insurances, repairs and maintenance, spares, stores, lubricants, quality and safety costs and other expenses such as tonnage tax, registration fees and communication costs, as well as foreign currency gains or losses. All vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred. Under a bareboat charter, the charterer assumes responsibility for all voyage and vessel operating expenses and risk of operation. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize contract fulfillment costs for time charters under ASC 340-40.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

Unearned revenue: Unearned revenue represents cash received prior to the year-end for which related service has not been provided, primarily relating to charter hire paid in advance to be earned over the applicable charter period.

Customers’ concentration: Voyage revenues for 2018, 2017 and 2016 included revenues derived from significant charterers as follows (in percentages of total voyage revenues):

Charterer	2018			2017			2016
A		15	%		14	%		13	%
B		10	%		11	%		13	%
C		10	%		10	%		9	%

(o) Segment Reporting: The Company does not evaluate the operating results by type of vessel or by type of charter or by type of cargo. Although operating results may be identified by type of vessel, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results primarily by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet. The Company operates two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers which meet the quantitative thresholds used to determine reportable segments. The chief operating decision maker does not review the operating results of these vessels separately or make any decisions about resources to be allocated to these vessels or assess their performance separately; therefore, the LNG carriers do not constitute a separate reportable segment. The Company’s vessels operate on many trade routes throughout the world and, therefore, the provision of geographic information is considered impracticable by management. For the above reasons, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the worldwide maritime transportation of liquid energy related products.

(p) Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company regularly enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations of interest rates associated with its specific borrowings. Also, the Company enters into bunker swap contracts and put or call options to manage its exposure to fluctuations of bunker prices associated with the consumption of bunkers by its vessels. Interest rate and bunker price differentials paid or received under the swap agreements are recognized as part of Interest and finance costs, net. On the inception of a put or call option on bunkers an asset or liability is recognized. The subsequent changes in its fair value and realized payments or receipts upon exercise of the options are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income as part of the interest and finance costs, net. All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value. On the inception date of the derivative contract, the Company evaluates the derivative as an accounting hedge of the variability of cash flow to be paid of a forecasted transaction (“cash flow” hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income until earnings are affected by the forecasted transaction. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in earnings in the period in which those fair value changes occur. Realized gains or losses on early termination of undesignated derivative instruments are also classified in earnings in the period of termination of the respective derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges of the variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction to a specific forecasted transaction. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. In accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Company may prospectively discontinue the hedge accounting for an existing hedge if the applicable criteria are no longer met, the derivative instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised or if the Company removes the designation of the respective cash flow hedge. In those circumstances, the net gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, unless the forecasted transaction is no longer probable in which case the net gain or loss is reclassified into earnings immediately.

(q) Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines, and provides guidance as to the measurement of fair value. ASC 820 applies when assets or liabilities in the financial statements are to be measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (Note 14).

(r) Accounting for Leases: Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a straight-line method over the lease term. In December 2017, the Company entered into sale and leaseback transactions for two of its vessels (Note 4). At December 31, 2018, and 2017 such transactions are accounted for as operating leases.

(s) Stock Based Compensation: The Company has a share-based incentive plan that covers directors and officers of the Company and employees of the related companies. No stock has been awarded in 2018. When awards are granted, they are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award. The fair value of restricted stock issued to crew members, directors and officers of the Company at the grant date is equal to the closing stock price on that date and is amortized over the applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The fair value of restricted stock issued to non-employees is equal to the closing stock price at the grant date adjusted by the closing stock price at each reporting date and is amortized over the applicable performance period (Note 8). On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and interim periods within this fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance has had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and net assets for any period.

(t) Business combinations—Definition of a business: In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01—Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Clarifying the Definition of a Business which addresses business combination issues with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the aforementioned ASU with no impact on its consolidated financial statements and notes disclosures.

(u) Going concern: The Company evaluates whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern by applying the provisions of ASU No. 2014-15. In more detail, the Company evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. As part of such evaluation, the Company did not identify any conditions that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. As a result, there was no impact in the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures.

(v) Treasury stock: Treasury stock is stock that is repurchased by the issuing entity, reducing the amount of outstanding shares in the open market. When shares are repurchased, they may either be cancelled or held for reissue. If not cancelled, such shares are referred to as treasury stock. Treasury stock is essentially the same as unissued capital and reduces ordinary share capital. The cost of the acquired shares should generally be shown as a deduction from stockholders’ equity. Dividends on such shares held in the entity’s treasury should not be reflected as income and not shown as a reduction in equity. Gains and losses on sales of treasury stock should be accounted for as adjustments to stockholders’ equity and not as part of income. Depending on whether the shares are acquired for reissuance or retirement, treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method or the constructive retirement method. The cost method is also used, when reporting entity management has not made decisions as to whether the reacquired shares will be retired, held indefinitely or reissued. The Company elected for the repurchase of its common shares to be accounted for under the cost method. Under this method, the treasury stock account is charged for the aggregate cost of shares reacquired.

New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02-Leases (ASC 842), as amended, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does not substantially change lessor accounting.

ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the alternative optional transition method along with the package of practical expedients which does not require the Company to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. The Company will elect the practical expedient for lessors for presentation purposes, upon adoption of ASC 842-Leases, which allows the Company to account for the lease and non-lease (primarily crew and maintenance services) component of time charter agreements as one, since as the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease component are the same, the lease components, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and the predominant component in its time charter agreements is the lease component.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to (Topic 842)—Leases: ASU No. 2018-10 affects narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in Update 2016-02. The amendments in this Update related to transition, do not include amendments from issued ASU, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, specific to a new and optional transition method to adopt the new lease requirements in Update 2016-02. That additional transition method will be issued as part of a forthcoming and separate Update that will result in additional amendments to transition paragraphs included in this Update to conform with the additional transition method.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (ASC 842) - Targeted Improvements. The amendments in this Update: (i) provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease requirements by allowing entities to initially apply the requirements at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption; and, (ii) provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (ASC 606) and both of the following are met: (a) the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same, and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. If the non-lease component or components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, an entity is required to account for the combined component in accordance with ASC 606. Otherwise, the entity should account for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842. Leases between related parties, are classified in accordance with the lease classification criteria applicable to all other leases on the basis of the legally enforceable terms and conditions of the lease.

While the Company is still assessing the impact of the disclosure requirements under ASC 842, the Company, as a lessor, is expecting that the adoption will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. For the sale and leaseback transactions, for which the Company is the lessee, the adoption of ASC 842 is expected to result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities of approximately $29 million in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 4—Vessels for further information regarding the Company’s sale and leaseback agreements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13-Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For public entities, the amendments of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Furthermore, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The amendments clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in Update 2016-13, as amended by this Update. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of the new accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810)—Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities”. The Board is issuing this Update in response to stakeholders’ observations that Topic 810, Consolidation, could be improved in the following areas: i) applying the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance to private companies under common control, ii) considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The amendments in this Update improve the accounting for those areas, thereby improving general purpose financial reporting. ASU No. 2018-17 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU No. 2017-12), which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Furthermore, in October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes”, which permits the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the UST, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting to benchmark interest rate hedges under Topic 815. For entities that have not already adopted Update 2017-12, the amendments in this Update are required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in Update 201712. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of this Update if an entity already has adopted Update 2017-12. The amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)-Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”, which improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. In particular, the amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting-Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments in the Update apply to all entities that are required under existing GAAP to make disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718): ASU No. 201807 simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2018-07 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The loan agreements include, among other covenants, covenants requiring the Company to obtain the lenders’ prior consent in order to incur or issue any financial indebtedness, additional borrowings, pay dividends provided no event of default has occurred, sell vessels and assets, and change the beneficial ownership or management of the vessels. Also, the covenants require the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity, not legally restricted, of $99,154 at December 31, 2018 and $113,427 at December 31, 2017, a minimum consolidated leverage ratio, a minimum hull value in connection with the vessels’ outstanding loans and insurance coverage of the vessels against all customary risks. Two loan agreements require the Company to maintain throughout the security period, an aggregate credit balance in a deposit account of $2,700. Four loan agreements require a monthly pro rata transfer to retention account of any principal due but unpaid.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries had twenty-nine loan agreements, totaling $1,607,122. The Company fulfilled its requirements in respect of the financial covenants of all the agreements in relation to the leverage ratio and all other terms and covenants, apart from the value-to-loan requirement in three of its loan agreements, which did not require an amount to be reclassified within current liabilities at December 31, 2018.

At December 31, 2018, the Company held one interest rate swap that did not meet hedge accounting criteria. I On December 20, 2018, the Company discontinued as a cash flow hedge one hedging interest rate swap. This interest rate swap is associated with a secured term loan facility, which was part of the refinancing of debt approaching maturity relating to the vessels Euro and Sakura Princess. Upon completion of the refinancing on December 20, 2018, the hedge no longer met the criteria for special hedge accounting as it was no longer highly effective, and it was determined by management that the future cash flows associated with the repayment of the new financing were not probable of occurring. As such, the changes in its fair value has been included in change in fair value of non-hedging financial instruments in the above table and amounted to $86 (negative).

In November 2018, the Company entered into two call option agreements, with an exercise date in 2019 and through 2020, for a total premium of $1,602. During 2017, the Company entered into two call option agreements and paid total premium of $216. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company held three and one, respectively, call option agreements in order to hedge its exposure to bunker price fluctuations associated with the consumption of bunkers by its vessels. The value of the call options at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $350 (positive) and $118 (positive), respectively. The changes in their fair value during 2018, 2017 amounting to $232 (positive), $1,189 (negative), respectively, have been included in Change in fair value of non-hedging financial instruments in the above table.

During 2018, the Company entered nineteen bunker swap agreements in order to hedge its exposure to bunker price fluctuations associated with the consumptions of bunkers by its vessels.

10. Earnings per Common Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the foregoing and the exercise of all granted RSUs using the treasury stock method.

11. Non-controlling Interest in Subsidiary

The Company owns 51% of Mare Success S.A., the holding-company of two Panamanian registered companies which own respectively the vessels Maya and Inca. 49% of Mare Success S.A. is owned by an affiliate of one of the Company’s major charterers. Mare Success S.A. is fully consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. There have been no transactions between the 49% owner and the Company since the incorporation of Mare Success S.A., whereas approximately 7.5% of the Company’s 2018 revenue (9.5% in 2017 and 7.4% in 2016) was generated by the charterer affiliated to the 49% owner.

12. Income Taxes

Under the laws of the countries of the Company’s subsidiaries’ incorporation and/or vessels’ registration (Greece, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Panama, Bahamas, Cyprus, Malta), the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in the Vessel operating expenses.

The Company is not expected to be subject to United States Federal income tax on its gross income from the international operations of ships. In general, foreign persons operating ships to and from the United States are subject to United States Federal income tax of 4% of their United States source gross transportation income, which equals 50% of their gross income from transportation to or from the United States. The Company believes that it is exempt from United States Federal income tax on its United States source gross transportation income, as each vessel-operating subsidiary is organized in a foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption to corporations organized in the United States, and derives income from the international operation of ships and satisfies the stock ownership test as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations as a result of the Company’s stock being primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States. Under the regulations, a Company’s stock is considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market if (i) one or more classes of its stock representing 50% or more of its outstanding shares, by voting power and value, is listed on the market and is traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxable year; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of stock traded during the taxable year is at least 10% of the average number of shares of the stock outstanding during the taxable year. Other requirements such as the substantiation and reporting requirements under the regulations also must be satisfied to qualify for the exemption from United States Federal income tax.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

On May 2, 2018, the Company signed two new building contracts for the construction of two aframax tankers. The total contracted amount remaining to be paid for the two vessels under construction plus extra costs agreed as at December 31, 2018, were $57,028 in 2019 and $31,168 in 2020.

In the ordinary course of the shipping business, various claims and losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents and other suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Management believes that all such matters are either adequately covered by insurance or are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial condition.

Charters-out

The future minimum revenues of vessels in operation at December 31, 2018, before reduction for brokerage commissions, expected to be recognized on non-cancelable time charters are as follows:

Year	Amount
2019		278,623
2020		227,381
2021		173,662
2022		117,105
2023 to 2028		268,087
Minimum charter payments		1,064,858

These amounts do not assume any off-hire.

14. Financial Instruments

(a) Interest rate risk: The Company is subject to interest rate risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate term loans and credit facilities as described in Notes 6 and 7.

(b) Concentration of credit risk: Financial Instruments consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable, investments, and derivatives.

The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk. The Company limits the exposure of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings and performing periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the counterparties.

(c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and due from/to related parties, approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The Company performs relevant enquiries on a periodic basis to assess the recoverability of the long-term investment and estimates that the amount presented on the accompanying balance sheet approximates the amount that is expected to be received by the Company in the event of sale of that investment.

The fair values of the one long-term bank loan with a fixed interest rate, the interest rate swap agreements, bunker swap agreements and call option agreements discussed in Note 6 above are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.
