Performance Shipping Inc. Announces Sale of 2010-Built Aframax Vessel M/T P. Aliki for US$42.65 Million

ATHENS, Greece, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Performance Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: PSHG), (“we” or the “Company”), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of tanker vessels, today announced that, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, it has signed a Memorandum of Agreement to sell its oldest vessel, the 2010-built, 105,304 dwt Aframax tanker vessel, M/T P. Aliki, to Trafigura Maritime Logistics Pte. Ltd. for a gross sale price of US$42.65 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered to the new owners in or around the end of the third quarter 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and upon expiration of her current US$30,000 per day time charter with Pakistan National Shipping Corporation.

The M/T P. Aliki currently serves as part of the collateral for the Company’s outstanding credit facility with Alpha Bank S.A. Part of the net proceeds from the sale will be applied to repay approximately US$12.8 million in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

The Company acquired the M/T P. Aliki in the fourth quarter of 2022 for a gross purchase price of US$36.5 million.

Commenting on this sale, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“The sale of the M/T P. Aliki is an integral part of our fleet renewal strategy, which combines opportunistic acquisitions of modern vessels and newbuilding orders with the divestitures of our older vessels. Over the past twelve months, the average age of our fleet has declined from 14 years to 8 years on a pro forma basis, following the pre-announced sale of the M/T P. Sophia and the sale of the M/T P. Aliki, and will decrease further upon delivery of our newbuilding vessels. Age is not the only factor, as we now boast a highly specified and energy efficient fleet.

“Our cash reserves are expected to increase from approximately US$50 million as of the end of 2025, to approximately US$175 million, taking into account our materialized bond tap issue and delivery of our third newbuilding M/T P. Marseille in January 2026, and pro forma the expected proceeds from the sale of the M/T P. Sophia and the net proceeds from the sale, following debt repayment, of the M/T P. Aliki . This significant cash increase will, among other initiatives, further support the funding for the construction of our two Suezmax tanker vessels scheduled for delivery in October 2028 and May 2029 at China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Ltd. (“CSTC”) and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (“SWS”).”

About the Company

Performance Shipping Inc. is a global provider of shipping transportation services through its ownership of tanker vessels. The Company employs its fleet on spot voyages, through pool arrangements, and on time charters.

Advanced Materials Science 2026: How Spider Silk, Carbon Fiber & Aerogels are Powering Medicine, Defense & Space Tech Today

DENVER, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recombinant spider silk produced by living organisms, ultra-light carbon fiber composites, and next-generation aerogels are no longer lab curiosities, they are already in hospitals, on battlefields, in performance apparel, and on spacecraft. These breakthroughs are delivering measurable gains in strength, sustainability, weight reduction, and functionality across medicine, military applications, high-performance textiles, and aerospace. This is materials science building the technologies of tomorrow, right now.

The Science Behind Tomorrow’s Materials

Advanced materials science sits at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and engineering. Recombinant spider silk is spun by genetically engineered silkworms that produce proteins with crystalline β-sheets for strength and amorphous regions for elasticity, creating a fiber stronger than steel, tougher than Kevlar, yet fully biodegradable. Carbon fiber composites offer 5× the strength of aluminum at 30-50% less weight, while aerogels (often called “frozen smoke”) deliver extreme thermal insulation with 99% air by volume.

These technologies are scaling commercially and being adopted by public companies turning lab discoveries into real-world products.

Medicine: Precision Healing and Regenerative Solutions

In healthcare, biomaterials enable targeted therapies and faster recovery. Nanoparticles deliver chemotherapy directly to tumors, hydrogels regenerate cartilage and stimulate electrical signals for wound healing, and 3D-printed scaffolds support tissue engineering. Self-healing polymers and biocompatible implants reduce rejection rates. The foundational polymers and composites driving these advances come from the same supply chains powering defense and aerospace.

Military & Defense: Lighter, Smarter, Lower-Collateral Solutions

Defense applications demand materials that reduce weight, enhance stealth, and minimize collateral damage. L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) leads in carbon-fiber bomb casings for the BLU-129/B and Focused Lethality Munition. These proprietary carbon-fiber-wound bodies vaporize on impact, delivering full explosive effect while eliminating dangerous shrapnel, ideal for urban operations. L3Harris has delivered over 1,000 units in partnership with Boeing and the U.S. Air Force.

Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT) brings Dyneema, the world’s strongest ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber, to ballistic vests, helmets, and vehicle armor. In early 2026 Avient ramped production to meet surging global defense demand, delivering hundreds of thousands of protective products to allied forces. Lighter than water yet able to stop bullets cold, Dyneema complements emerging biological fibers in next-gen soldier systems.

High-Performance Textiles: Sustainable Super-Fibers Meet Smart Wearables

High-performance textiles have evolved into intelligent systems that monitor health, regulate temperature, and harvest energy. Conductive fibers, phase-change materials, and nanomaterials create fabrics that adapt in real time, perfect for athletes, first responders, and troops.

The standout biological breakthrough comes from Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB), which genetically engineers silkworms to produce recombinant spider silk, branded as Dragon Silk, Monster Silk, and SpydaSilk. Because it is created by a living organism, the material is fully biodegradable, unlike petroleum-based synthetics. Pound-for-pound it beats steel in strength and Kevlar in toughness, while remaining ultra-light, elastic, and skin-friendly.

As of April 2026, Kraig Labs has smashed production records, achieving over 1.3 metric tons of spider-silk cocoons in a single month, five times their previous best, and is deploying roughly one million proprietary silkworm eggs across expanded facilities in Vietnam. The company is on track for multi-ton monthly output, with a stated goal of 10 metric tons per month. Current orders focus on luxury and high-performance apparel: elite athletic gear, technical outerwear, and premium fashion collections from brands seeking sustainable premium fabrics.

The next wave is already in motion. Kraig’s Project Atlas program (accelerated in March 2026) is developing advanced spider-silk variants specifically for defense and industrial use, lighter, more flexible body armor, ballistic shoot packs, and protective composites. This biological approach offers a sustainable edge that synthetic fibers like Dyneema cannot yet match, while both technologies point to a future of greener, higher-performing textiles.

Space Tiles, Thermal Protection & Hypersonic Applications

Re-entry heat exceeding 3,000°F once limited spacecraft to single-use designs. The Space Shuttle’s silica tiles (99% air) and reinforced carbon-carbon components proved reusable thermal protection was possible. Today, Aspen Aerogels (NYSE: ASPN) is pushing the envelope with next-generation aerogel insulation. These ultra-light materials, direct descendants of NASA’s “frozen smoke”, provide superior thermal management in far less weight and space than traditional ceramics.

Aspen’s aerogels are already being qualified for hypersonic vehicles, reusable spacecraft like Starship’s evolving heat shield, and high-heat drone/fighter applications. The same technology that protects against re-entry plasma is now enabling longer-endurance drones and more efficient fighter engines, directly linking space tech with the carbon-fiber airframes Hexcel supplies.

Market Outlook & Why 24/7 Market News Is Bullish on Advanced Materials in 2026

The convergence of production scale-ups, defense spending, sustainability mandates, and AI-accelerated discovery is creating a multi-billion-dollar opportunity. Recombinant spider silk, carbon fiber, and aerogels are already reducing weight, increasing performance, and lowering environmental impact across sectors. Challenges remain, cost curves, regulatory timelines, and supply-chain scaling, but the trajectory is clear.

The integrated safety harness creates a secure environment for progressive therapeutic interventions while minimizing fall risk,” said Dr. Joseph P. Buhain, Director of Interprofessional Simulation and Emerging Technology, Marieb College of Health & Human Services at Florida Gulf Coast University.

In addition to potential rehabilitation applications, Omni One may also support simulation-based education by enabling learners to navigate realistic virtual environments, including hospital units, home settings, community spaces, and disaster scenarios. Virtuix believes these capabilities can enhance situational awareness through interactive, movement-based experiences that train executive function and memory.

“We are excited to work with FGCU and evaluate the use of Omni One for medical applications,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. “This collaboration potentially opens another large market for Virtuix in addition to our consumer and defense businesses. More importantly, we believe our Omni technology has the power to help patients worldwide by making physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises more engaging and effective.”

Physical therapy and rehabilitation represent a large and rapidly growing market opportunity. The global physical therapy market is valued at approximately $26 billion in 2025 and is projected to nearly double to approximately $50 billion by 2034, driven by an aging population, the rising prevalence of chronic and musculoskeletal conditions, and growing interest in technology-enabled care. Virtuix believes its immersive, full-body movement platform is well positioned to address this growing demand through differentiated rehabilitation and simulation use cases.

Virtuix remains focused on two core markets alongside this emerging medical application opportunity: consumer and defense. On the consumer side, the Company recently joined Meta’s “Made for Meta” program, which is expected to make Omni One compatible with Meta Quest headsets and content, expanding access to the world’s largest XR user base. In the defense segment, Virtuix recently announced an Omni One delivery to the U.S. Marine Corps and a development agreement with the U.S. Navy, building on prior defense traction that includes sales to the U.S. Army at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Yokota Air Base.

Myriad Genetics Expands Access for MyChoice Test to Prostate Cancer Patients in Japan

SALT LAKE CITY, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Myriad Genetics Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine, today announced that Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has approved the use of the MyChoice® Test for prostate cancer patients as a companion diagnostic for Lynparza® (olaparib). With this approval, clinicians can now order the MyChoice Test to determine homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status for patients with ovarian cancer, and BRCA1/2 status for breast and prostate cancers.

“Expanding the MyChoice test into prostate cancer marks an important milestone for Myriad Genetics in Japan,” said Brian Donnelly, Chief Commercial Officer, Myriad Genetics. “Previously, MyChoice testing was only reimbursed under Japan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) for breast and ovarian cancer patients, so this new approval broadens access to critical genomic insights that help clinicians make informed treatment decisions for their patients. This also reflects Myriad’s continued focus on adding high value precision medicine tests to its Cancer Care Continuum portfolio.”

According to the World Cancer Research Fund, more than 100,000 men are newly diagnosed with prostate cancer annually in Japan, and a portion of those patients will be diagnosed with or later progress to metastatic castration-resistant (mCRP).

“The reimbursement approval of MyChoice for prostate cancer provides a new testing option for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. In addition to the previously available germline BRCA1/2 testing, the inclusion of tumor-based testing is expected to expand the number of patients who may benefit from treatment with PARP inhibitors,” said Dr. Hiroji Uemura, Project Professor, Department of Urological Oncology, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine.

About the MyChoice Test

The MyChoice Test offers comprehensive homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing enabling physicians to identify patients with tumors that have lost the ability to repair double-stranded DNA breaks, resulting in increased susceptibility to DNA-damaging drugs such as platinum drugs or PARP inhibitors. The MyChoice tests comprise tumor sequencing of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and a composite of three proprietary technologies (loss of heterozygosity, telomeric allelic imbalance and large-scale state transitions). The test is offered for breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer indications in Japan. For more information about Myriad Genetics in Japan, visit myriadgenetics.jp.
