Strategy

The Company is providing global seaborne transportation for dry bulk cargoes and chartering services by focusing on:

• Fleet expansion through timely acquisitions of dry bulk vessels with current preference for 10-15 years aiming to maximize ROI and Profitability.
  
• Long term fleet employment via the acquisition of vessels with attractive charters attached, or vessels that can attract charters immediately upon delivery, thereby enabling us to count on stable and predictable cash flows and strong returns to shareholders.
  
• Maintenance of strong customer relationships with major dry bulk charterers and traders to minimize counterparty risks.
  
• Establishment of a chartering subsidiary aimed to optimize our own fleet chartering while at the same time creating a new profit center for GOC’s business activities in relation to brokerage fees and trading activities.
  
• Effective risk management and strong corporate governance
  
• Efficient and effective low cost operating platform via Antares Ship Management SA, an affiliated company which operates our fleet at competitive costs through the diligent and effective supervision of the vessels, cost efficient performance of repairs, budget monitoring, proactiveness, high standards maintenance program and employment of professional well trained masters, officers and crews.  As a result, off-hire periods are minimized, insurance costs are effectively managed and overall operating expenses are adequately controlled while retaining a high level of safety.
