Description: ASC Ardmore Shpng October 25, 2025
Ardmore Shipping Corporation (NYSE:ASC) operates a global fleet of 26 vessels-22 eco-design owned ships and four chartered-in vessels-focused on transporting petroleum products and chemicals. Founded in 2010 and based in Hamilton, Bermuda, the company serves a client base that includes oil majors, independent producers, commodity traders, and chemical manufacturers.
Key operational metrics as of the latest filing show a combined deadweight tonnage of roughly 1.4 million DWT and an average vessel age of 5 years, positioning Ardmore to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. The firm’s EBITDA margin has hovered around 18-20 % in the past 12 months, reflecting strong demand for refined-product logistics amid a global shift toward higher-value petrochemicals and a tight supply of specialized tankers. Additionally, day-rate volatility for its eco-design tankers is closely tied to regional diesel and bunker fuel price spreads, which have been trending upward as Asian demand for refined fuels rebounds.
