Golden Ocean: A Top-Tier Dry Bulk Operator Focused On The Capesize Market
Golden Ocean owns 91 dry bulk vessels with a combined capacity of 13.8 million deadweight tons, one of the industry's largest fleets and second only to Star Bulk. With an average age of 7.7 years, Golden Ocean has one of the youngest fleets in the industry, only behind Himalaya Shipping and its fleet of brand-new Newcastlemax carriers. Given Golden Ocean's size, general and administrative expenses represented only 6.1% of TCE revenues in the first nine months of 2024, which is among the lowest among industry peers.
