The company’s fleet consists of 42 drybulk carriers, including 16 Capesize drybulk carriers, 15 Ultramax drybulk carriers, and eleven Supramax drybulk carriers with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 4,446,000 deadweight tons (dwt). The average age of the company’s fleet is approximately 12.2 years. All the vessels in the company’s fleet were built in shipyards with reputations for constructing high-quality vessels. The company seeks to deploy its vessels on time charters, spot market voyage charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market, to reputable counterparties.

The company’s approach towards fleet composition is to own a high-quality fleet of vessels that focuses on Capesize, Ultramax and Supramax vessels. Capesize vessels represent the company’s major bulk vessel category, while Ultramax and Supramax vessels represent its minor bulk vessel category. The company’s major bulk vessels are primarily used to transport iron ore, coal and bauxite, while its minor bulk vessels are primarily used to transport grains, steel products and other drybulk cargoes such as cement, scrap, fertilizer, nickel ore, salt and sugar. Its fleet deployment strategy is weighted towards short-term fixtures, which provides with optionality on the company’s sizeable fleet. In addition to both short- and long-term time charters, the company fix its vessels on spot market voyage charters as well as spot market-related time charters depending on market conditions and management’s outlook.

Business Strategy

The company’s strategy is to manage and expand its fleet in a manner that maximizes its cash flows from operations in a safe and efficient manner. The company’s strategies are to continue to operate a high-quality fleet; and strategically expand the size of its fleet.

The company’s fleet of 42 dry bulk vessels concentrates on the transportation of major and minor bulk commodities globally. The company utilizes an active commercial operating platform with a global presence having its corporate headquarters in New York and offices in Singapore and Copenhagen. The company fix a significant number of vessels through an expanded network of customers on spot market voyage charters, where it provides a vessel for the transportation of goods between a load port and discharge port at a specified per-ton rate or on a lump sum basis, as well as on contracts of affreightment directly with cargo providers. Furthermore, the company also assess arbitrage opportunities on cargoes through utilizing vessel positions by time chartering-in third party vessels and/or reletting cargo commitments on a voyage basis. In addition to these options, the company continues to fix its vessels on both short and long-term time charters, as well as spot market-related time charters, depending on market conditions and outlook. Overall, the company’s fleet deployment strategy is weighted towards short-term fixtures, which provide optionality for it.

Charters

As of February 20, 2025, the company fixed twelve of its vessels on spot market voyage charters where it provides a vessel for the transportation of goods between a load port and discharge port at a specified per-ton or on a lump sum basis. Additionally, as of February 20, 2025, the company has fixed 21 of its vessels under fixed-rate time charters and four of its vessels under spot market-related time charters.

The company’s vessels operate worldwide within the trading limits imposed by its insurance terms. For the vessels that the company employs on time charters or spot market-related time charters, agreements expire within a range of dates (for example, a minimum of 4 months and maximum of 6 months following delivery), with the exact end of the time charter left unspecified to account for the uncertainty of when a vessel complete its final voyage under the time charter.

In connection with the charter of each of the company’s vessels, it incurs commissions generally ranging from 1.25% to 5.00% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter or total freight revenue to third parties, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the relevant charter.

The company’s monitor developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and strategically adjust the time and duration of employment for its vessels according to market conditions as they become available for hire.

Classification and Inspection

All the company’s vessels have been certified as being ‘in class’ by the American Bureau of Shipping (‘ABS’), DNVGL or Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (‘Lloyd’s’). Each of these classification societies is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies.

The company has implemented the International Safety Management Code, which was promulgated by the International Maritime Organization, or IMO (the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of marine pollution by ships), to establish pollution prevention requirements applicable to vessels. The company obtained documents of compliance and safety management certificates for all of its vessels, which are required by the IMO.

Customers

The company generally charters its vessels to major trading houses (including commodities traders), major producers and government-owned entities rather than to more speculative or undercapitalized entities. The company’s customers include national, regional and international companies, such as ST Shipping & Transport Pte. Ltd., Rio Tinto Shipping (Asia) Pte. Ltd., Oldendorff Carriers, including its subsidiaries, Cargill International S.A., Bunge SA, ADMIntermare, a division of ADM International Sarl, and Vale International S.A. For the year ended December 31, 2024, two customers individually accounted for more than 10% of the company’s voyage revenue. ST Shipping & Transport Pte. Ltd. and Oldendorff Carriers, including its subsidiaries, represented 11.0% and 10.7% of voyage revenues, respectively.

Environmental and Other Regulations

A variety of government and private entities subject the company’s vessels to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. These entities include the local port authorities (applicable national authorities such as the United States Coast Guard (‘USCG’), harbor master or equivalent), classification societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry) and charterers, particularly terminal operators.

Specifically, the company has purchased modern, fuel-efficient vessels with lower overall fuel consumption than older vessels in order to reduce its fleet’s greenhouse gas emissions; divested certain older, less fuel-efficient vessels; outfitted select vessels with Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) to reduce the fuel consumptions of these vessels, which include Mewis Ducts, Fins, Propellers, Propeller Boss Cap Fins, LED lamps and Variable Frequency Drives on some of the company’s vessels to reduce electricity power consumption; applied high-performance paint systems that cause less resistance and saves fuel consumption; installed performance-monitoring systems on board the majority of the company’s vessels to gather real-time fuel consumption data to optimize the voyage efficiency of these vessels and are in the process of installing such systems on its remaining vessels; utilized a third-party data collection platform that analyzes information from the company’s vessels in an effort to reduce fuel consumption, CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions; established and executed a compliance program regarding IMO 2020 fuel regulations; installed ballast water treatment systems on the entire fleet; studying alternative fuels and the potential value proposition in light of and upcoming environmental regulations; purchasing Aderco fuel additives that are added to the company’s bunkers to stabilize, add lubrication and help clean its storage tanks; Installed Engine Power Limitation (EPL) systems on certain major bulk vessels to increase the level of energy efficiency by optimizing maintenance of the ship’s engine power level; and implemented an IMO 2023 compliance plan for select vessels within the company’s fleet in which it has installed ESDs and applied high performance paint systems, among other initiatives.

In September of 1997, the IMO adopted Annex VI to MARPOL to address air pollution from vessels. Effective May 2005, Annex VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from all commercial vessel exhausts and prohibits ‘deliberate emissions’ of ozone depleting substances (such as halons and chlorofluorocarbons), emissions of volatile compounds from cargo tanks, and the shipboard incineration of specific substances. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions, as explained below. Emissions of ‘volatile organic compounds’ from certain vessels, and the shipboard incineration (from incinerators installed after January 1, 2000) of certain substances (such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs) are also prohibited. All the company’s vessels are compliant in all material respects with these regulations.

The SOLAS Convention was amended to address the safe manning of vessels and emergency training drills. The Convention of Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (the ‘LLMC’) sets limitations of liability for a loss of life or personal injury claim or a property claim against ship owners. The company’s vessels are in substantial compliance with SOLAS and LLMC standards.

Under Chapter IX of the SOLAS Convention, or the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (the ‘ISM Code’), the company’s operations are also subject to environmental standards and requirements.

The company has obtained Anti-fouling System Certificates for all its vessels that are subject to the Anti-fouling Convention.

Both the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) impact the company’s operations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) have also enacted rules relating to ballast water discharge, compliance with which requires the installation of equipment on the company’s vessels to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other port facility disposal arrangements or procedures at potentially substantial costs, and/or otherwise restrict its vessels from entering U.S. Waters.

The International Labour Organization (the ‘ILO’) is a specialized agency of the UN that has adopted the Maritime Labor Convention 2006 (‘MLC 2006’). A Maritime Labor Certificate and a Declaration of Maritime Labor Compliance is required to ensure compliance with the MLC 2006 for all ships that are 500 gross tonnage or over and are either engaged in international voyages or flying the flag of a member and operating from a port, or between ports, in another country. All the company’s vessels are in substantial compliance with and are certified to meet MLC 2006.
