Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Phasing out older, less efficient vessels and replacing them with modern, fuel-efficient dry bulk carriers to improve competitive positioning and comply with environmental regulations.
Expected impact: Reduces the weighted average age of the fleet, enhances fuel efficiency, and increases total carrying capacity.
Selling off older vessels to optimize fleet composition and generate liquidity. This includes the sale of the 2007-built supramax 'River Globe' for $8.55 million before commissions.
Expected impact: Generates immediate liquidity and eliminates the oldest vessel in the fleet, reducing maintenance and dry-docking costs.
