Genco Shipping & Trading Limited engages in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. It transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products, and other drybulk cargoes. The company principally charters its vessels to trading houses, including commodities traders; producers; and government-owned entities. As of December 31, 2007, Genco Shipping owned a fleet of 28 drybulk carriers consisting of 5 Capesize, 6 Panamax, 3 Supramax, 6 Handymax, and 8 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 2,020,000 deadweight tons. The company was founded in 2004 and is based in New York, New York.



At Genco Shipping & Trading Limited our Chairman and board of directors have substantial experience in the shipping industry.

Our management team is based in New York City and includes several executives with extensive experience in the shipping industry who have demonstrated substantial ability in managing the commercial, technical and financial aspects of our business.

We believe that we possess a number of strengths that provide us with a competitive advantage in the drybulk shipping industry.

We own a modern, high-quality fleet of drybulk carriers. We have a modern fleet consisting of vessels with an average age of 6.42 years as of June 30, 2008 as compared to the average age of approximately 15 years for the world fleet. We believe that owning a modern, high-quality fleet: reduces operating costs and fuel consumption; allows us to secure favorable financing terms by enabling lenders to feel secure with their collateral; makes our fleet more reliable by reducing the likelihood of breakdowns and off-hire; provides us with a competitive advantage in securing favorable time charters from charterers who prefer vessels that have greater fuel efficiency than older vessels and can serve with fewer interruptions due to breakdowns.

Our fleet includes six groups of sister ships. Sister ships can use similar spare parts, and their crews are interchangeable. We believe that maintaining a fleet that includes sister ships increases our revenue generating potential by improving our operational and scheduling flexibility and reduces costs by creating economies of scale in the maintenance, supply and crewing of our vessels. We also believe that having sister ships makes our fleet more attractive to time charterers because they can interchange cargoes among the sister ships.

We benefit from strong relationships with members of the shipping and financial industries. We have developed strong relationships with major international charterers, shipbuilders and financial institutions that we believe are the direct result of the quality and experience of our management team. In addition, we have developed a strong relationship with Wallem, an international vessel management company with over 35 years of experience that currently manages 211 vessels with a carrying capacity totaling in excess of 16 million dwt while meeting strict quality control standards. We currently contract with Wallem for the technical management of the vessels in our fleet. We believe that these relationships will lead to greater charter opportunities for our vessels.

We maintain commercial management of our fleet in-house, thereby benefiting from the substantial experience of our management team in the shipping industry while avoiding brokerage commissions to related parties. It also serves to prevent conflicts of interest because, unlike transactions involving brokers, our employees do not have a personal financial interest in the charter contracts.

Our Business Strategy

Our strategy is to manage and expand our fleet in a manner that enables us to pay dividends to our shareholders. To accomplish this objective, we intend to maintain a modern, high-quality fleet that meets or exceeds stringent industry standards and complies with charterer requirements that are required before a vessel owner can secure employment for its vessels. In addition, we intend to maintain the high quality of our existing fleet and subsequent acquisitions by maintaining, through our technical manager, a rigorous and comprehensive maintenance program, including supervision of our independent third party technical manager by our own staff. Additionally, our technical managers maintain the quality of our vessels by carrying out regular inspections, both while in port and at sea. We believe that this ongoing maintenance program can ultimately reduce periods of off-hire and increase revenues.

Pursue an appropriate balance of time and spot charters.

Maintain low-cost, highly efficient operations.

Capitalize on our management team's reputation for high standards of performance, reliability and safety.
