Our fleet of controlled vessels are predominantly comprised of dry bulk carriers which we solely own or jointly own with our business partners, or chartered in by us on a long-term basis through bareboat charters. Our controlled vessel fleet also included oil and chemical tankers. Our fleet of vessels comprised vessels of various sizes such as capesize, panamax, ultramax, supramax, handymax, and handysize as well as other vessels that do not fall under these sizing conventions.As of 31 December 2024, controlled fleet of the Group and joint ventures comprises 26 vessels, which has a combined weight carrying capacity of 1.23 million dwt.
As at 31 December 2024, the Group’s self-owned and bareboat chartered vessels under construction amounted to 20 vessels and together with the 18 vessels under construction held through joint ventures, totalling 38 vessels. The additional weight carrying capacity covers a wide range of vessel types, including oil/chemical tankers, heavy multi-purpose vessels, bulk carriers and multi-purpose dry cargo vessels, which can effectively expand the Group’s carrying capacity while balancing asset investment and benefits.
