Description: GNK Genco Shipping & Trading October 23, 2025

Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd (NYSE:GNK) operates a fleet of dry-bulk carriers that transport commodities such as iron ore, coal, grains, and steel products for commodity traders, producers and government entities worldwide. The company, incorporated in 2004 and based in New York, primarily generates revenue through time-charter and voyage-charter agreements.

Key operational metrics (as of the latest 2023 filing) include a fleet of roughly 30 vessels with an average age of 10 years and a 2023 EBITDA margin of about 15 %. The firm’s earnings are highly sensitive to the Baltic Dry Index (BDI), which reflects global demand for bulk shipping and is driven largely by Chinese steel production cycles and seasonal agricultural harvests. Additionally, fuel price volatility (IMO-2020 compliant low-sulfur fuel) and the company’s exposure to ESG regulations (e.g., emissions reporting) are material risk factors.
