Strategic Fleet

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited agreed to sell the older Genco Commodus for $19.5 million, anticipating savings on drydocking in 2024. 

Financing these acquisitions involves cash, credit facilities, and proceeds from the Genco Commodus sale, expecting around $210 million in debt and $290 million in undrawn revolver availability post-transaction.

Genco’s CEO, John C. Wobensmith, highlighted strides in their fleet strategy, acquiring modern, efficient vessels and shedding older ones. These acquisitions improve their global operations and bolster earnings. 

The focus on high-spec, eco-friendly ships aligns with long-term goals, aiming for future growth, reduced carbon footprint, and delivering dividends while maintaining a strong financial position.
