Net income was $9.6 million versus a prior-year loss of $12.0 million, driven by stronger drybulk markets and a larger fleet.
Total operating expenses increased to $101.1 million, reflecting higher voyage, charter hire, and depreciation costs, partly offset by a $2.1 million net gain on a vessel sale.

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited entered into a Second Amendment to its Shareholder Rights Agreement. The Board previously determined it would be in the company’s and shareholders’ best interests to raise the beneficial ownership threshold to become an Acquiring Person to 15% of outstanding common stock for all shareholders.
The Second Amendment rescinds the prior First Amendment, leaving the Rights Agreement otherwise in full force and effect. The plan is described as similar to those of other public companies and is intended to discourage attempts to gain control or significant influence without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium, while still allowing the Board to consider offers it views as fair and in shareholders’ best interests.
