George Economou’s DryShips has placed a $34m valuation on its 49% stake in Connecticut-

based tanker pool operator Heidmar, according to disclosures in an annual report filed last week.

The figure is roughly in line with TradeWinds’ estimate of Heidmar's market value at the time DryShips acquired the stake from Economou's private holding in August 2017.

DryShips says in the disclosure that $34m was the fair value of the Heidmar share at the time of the August 2017 acquisition.
