Genco Shipping & Trading Limited reported a profitable quarter, with voyage revenues rising to $114.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from $71.3 million a year earlier. 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. Time charter equivalent rates improved sharply, lifting EBITDA to $34.2 million. The company continued its fleet renewal and expansion while maintaining liquidity of about $404.8 million, including $54.8 million of cash.
