Current Fleet Deployment
All our vessels are currently operating on short-term time charters (“on spot”).
Management Commentary
“During the third quarter of 2025, we experienced a gradual but meaningful improvement in market rates for the vessel segments in which we operate. The quarter ended at significantly higher levels than it began with, our nimble chartering strategy allowed us to effectively capture the upward momentum. This positive trend continued into the fourth quarter of 2025, with rates for midsize bulk carriers currently ranging around $15,000 and $18,000 per day. Our modern fleet is well positioned to benefit from these conditions through short-term and index-linked chartering arrangements that provide direct exposure to improving market fundamentals. Asset values remain elevated, and sale-and-purchase activity has been strong across the market.
“Operationally, we completed the dry-docking of one vessel during the quarter, which temporarily affected utilization. Although the work experienced a minor delay due to unforeseen circumstances, the final outcome met our expectations and costs remained within acceptable levels.
“Construction of our two Ultramax newbuildings in Japan, scheduled for delivery in 2026, is progressing according to plan. These fuel-efficient vessels will enhance our operational flexibility and are well received by charterers.
“We also secured financing for both newbuildings from Japanese institutions on what we consider attractive terms. In parallel, we amended one of our existing credit facilities, achieving a reduced margin and an extended maturity, with a long-standing financial partner.
“Looking ahead, market conditions remain constructive. We see encouraging signs across several dry bulk trade routes and are optimistic about the outlook for the midsize bulker segment. We look forward to operating our fully delivered fleet, generating sustainable cash flows, and delivering meaningful returns to shareholders.”
Recent Developments
Sale of vessel
On February 4, 2025, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell the 2007-built River Globe for a gross price of $8.55 million before commissions and expenses. The vessel was delivered to her new owners on March 17, 2025.
Debt financing
In September 2025, the Company amended its CIT loan facility with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, extending the termination date of Tranches F and G to August 10, 2027, to align with Tranches H and I. The amendment also revised the repayment schedules for the affected tranches and reduced the applicable margin for all tranches from 2.70% to 1.95%. The Company determined that the changes did not substantially modify CIT Loan Facility’s terms and the Company recognized a gain on modification which amounted to $461 thousand.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, has arranged a $25 million loan facility and a $28 million sale and bareboat back agreement for its two vessels under construction, which are scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2026.

Revenue
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, our Revenues reached $12.6 million and $8.95 million, respectively. The 41% increase in Revenues is primarily attributable to the higher average number of vessels operated by the Company during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The Company operated an average fleet of 9 vessels in the third quarter of 2025, compared to an average of 6.7 vessels during the corresponding period in 2024. Furthermore, the Daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the third quarter of 2025 was $14,702 per vessel per day against $13,867 per vessel per day during the same period in 2024 corresponding to an increase of 6%.
First nine months of the year 2025 compared to the first nine months of the year 2024
Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, amounted to $2.6 million or $0.13 basic loss per share based on 20,582,301 weighted average number of shares, compared to net income of $2.4 million for the same period last year or $0.12 basic income per share based on 20,582,301 weighted average number of shares.
Revenue
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, our Revenues reached $30.8 million and $26.2 million, respectively. The 18% increase in Revenues is primarily attributable to the higher average number of vessels operated by the Company during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The Company operated an average fleet of 9.3 vessels in the first nine months of 2025, compared to an average of 6.8 vessels during the corresponding period in 2024. Conversely, the daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $11,705 per vessel per day, compared to $13,450 per vessel per day for the same period in 2024, representing a 13% decline, which is attributed to the worse conditions throughout the bulk market for the first six months of 2025. This decrease is attributed to unfavourable market conditions in the bulk shipping sector during the first half of 2025.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest and finance costs net, gains or losses from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes, depreciation, depreciation of dry-docking costs, amortization of fair value of time charter acquired, impairment and gains or losses on sale of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or cash generated from operations, as determined by IFRS, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and
- Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and net cash generated from/(used in) operating activities for the periods presented:
