Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (SBLK) engaged Arrow Research Limited (Arrow Valuations), an independent appraisal firm, to provide updated market valuations for its fleet. Arrow Valuations issued a report dated July 31, 2026, effective as of June 30, 2026, covering 133 owned vessels, and a separate report dated and effective August 21, 2026, covering five newbuilding vessels, including Star Bella and Star Kyra. The reports state indicative market values for each vessel on a willing-buyer/willing-seller basis, such as $74,250,000 for each of MV Star Ayesha, MV Debbie H and MV Katie K, and $43,500,000 for each of the five newbuildings. The valuations rely on standard assumptions about condition, regulatory compliance and freedom from liens, with no physical inspections performed and no assurance the values are realisable.
