Pacific Basin Shipping Corporate Events
Pacific Basin Shipping has agreed to acquire four newbuild Handysize bulk carriers from a single seller for a total of about US$119.2 million, with delivery scheduled across the first and second quarters of 2028. The open-hatch, logs-fitted vessels, each of 40,000 dwt, are designed with improved fuel efficiency, greater cargo flexibility and higher carrying capacity than the ships they will replace, which the company expects will support more triangulated trading patterns and stronger time-charter-equivalent earnings. The purchases, to be funded through cash reserves and/or bank borrowings, are viewed by the board as attractively priced in the current newbuilding market and, when aggregated under Hong Kong listing rules, qualify as a discloseable transaction requiring reporting and announcement, highlighting the group’s ongoing fleet renewal and operational upgrading strategy.

In the third quarter of 2025, Pacific Basin Shipping reported improved vessel time-charter equivalent earnings due to a rally in the dry bulk freight markets, driven by market disruptions and inefficiencies. The company has proactively addressed potential impacts from new US and Chinese port fees, believing these fees are not applicable to them. The firm remains optimistic about long-term market conditions and is committed to fleet renewal and growth strategies. Despite a year-on-year decrease in Handysize earnings, Supramax earnings increased, and the company has covered a significant portion of its vessel days for the fourth quarter of 2025 and into 2026, ensuring continued profitability.
