Globus Maritime Limited is an integrated dry bulk shipping company that owns, operates, and manages a fleet of dry bulk vessels transporting commodities such as iron ore, coal, grain, steel products, cement, alumina, and other dry bulk cargoes worldwide. As of December 31, 2025, the company’s fleet consisted of 9 dry bulk vessels: 6 Kamsarmax and 3 Ultramax, with a total carrying capacity of 680,622 dwt and a weighted average age of about 8.1 years. The Ultramax vessels are geared, allowing operation in ports with limited shore‑side infrastructure. Globus Maritime Limited also had 2 Ultramax newbuildings under construction, scheduled for delivery in the latter half of 2026. The company emphasizes operational efficiency and cost control through its in‑house management team, which oversees crewing, maintenance, and regulatory compliance for all vessels.
The company generates revenue chiefly from chartering its vessels under time charter, bareboat charter, and spot market agreements, earning daily hire rates that vary with vessel age, size, speed, fuel consumption, and prevailing market conditions. Revenue is derived from both short‑term spot charters, which provide flexibility to capture market upswings, and longer‑term time or index‑linked charters that deliver cash flow stability. Additionally, Globus Maritime Limited periodically enters into sale‑and‑leaseback arrangements, such as the bareboat‑back deals with SK Shipholding S. A. and Shankyo Shoji Co. Ltd., that provide upfront proceeds while the company retains operational control of the vessels for the charter period.
Globus Maritime Limited operates in a highly competitive dry bulk shipping market where it contends with other owners of Ultramax and Kamsarmax vessels, as well as with larger Capesize and Panamax operators for certain cargoes. Competition hinges on price, vessel location, size, age, condition, and reputation, with many rivals possessing greater financial resources and larger fleets. The company’s competitive advantages stem from its in‑house technical and commercial management through Globus Shipmanagement Corp., a relatively modern fleet with an average age of about 8.1 years, and its geared Ultramax vessels that can access a broader range of ports. These strengths help Globus Maritime Limited maintain its position despite industry fragmentation and the cyclical nature of dry bulk demand.
The company’s customer base comprises operators, trading houses, shipping companies, producers, and government‑owned entities. Specific charterers named in the filing include Hyundai Glovis Co. Ltd., Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers Ltd., Olam Global Agri Pte Ltd., and Vittera Chartering B. V. In spot market activities, Globus Maritime Limited has also dealt with Cargill International SA, Oldendorff GmbH & Co KG, Western Bulk Pte. Ltd., and Ausca Shipping HK Limited, among others.
