GENCO SHIPPING & TRADING LTD GNK

We are a New York City-based pure-play drybulk ship owning company focused on the seaborne transportation of commodities globally. We transport key cargoes such as iron ore, coal, grain, bauxite, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes. After the expected delivery of two Newcastlemax vessels during March 2026 that we have agreed to acquire, our fleet will consist of 45 drybulk vessels, including two Newcastlemax and 17 Capesize vessels and 15 Ultramax and 11 Supramax vessels with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 5,044,000 deadweight tons ("dwt") and an average age of 12.7 years.

See page 5 for a table of our current fleet.

Our approach towards fleet composition is to own a high-quality fleet of vessels that focuses on Newcastlemax, Capesize, Ultramax and Supramax vessels. Newcastlemax and Capesize vessels represent our major bulk vessel category, while Ultramax and Supramax vessels represent our minor bulk vessel category. Our major bulk vessels are primarily used to transport iron ore, coal and bauxite, while our 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. This approach of owning ships that transport both major and minor bulk commodities provide us with exposure to a wide range of drybulk trade flows.
