Founded with a keen sense of the market, Star Bulk operates primarily in the business of dry bulk shipping. It specializes in transporting a variety of essential commodities such as iron ore, coal, and grain—the building blocks of economies worldwide. The company’s fleet, consisting of a diverse range of vessel sizes from Capesize to Supramax, is meticulously managed to optimize routes and loads, ensuring operational efficiency and maximizing voyage profitability. The heartbeat of Star Bulk's business model lies in its strategic chartering tactics.
