About Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd.

Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. is a US-based maritime logistics and transportation company listed on the Nasdaq (PANL) in the United States. Headquartered in Newport, Rhode Island, Pangaea operates around the clock from four offices in Newport, Athens, Copenhagen, and Singapore. The company serves customers that need the transportation of a broad range of dry bulk cargoes, combining ocean freight, voyage and time-charter services, supply-chain logistics, and other value-added maritime services. ([pangaeals.com](https://www.pangaeals.com/about/)) Pangaea’s franchise is built on a long-standing focus on dry bulk shipping, with a particularly strong position in ice-class tonnage. The company says it operates a fleet of roughly 45 to 60 Supramax, Panamax, and Handymax vessels, with a meaningful portion owned or partially owned. It describes itself as a leader in the high ice-class segment, controlling a majority of the world’s large dry bulk vessels with Ice-Class 1A designation. That specialization matters because it allows Pangaea to serve trade routes and cargoes that face harsher operating conditions, creating a niche competitive advantage and supporting the company’s ability to earn premium freight economics in certain markets. ([pangaeals.com](https://www.pangaeals.com/about/)) From a business-model perspective, Pangaea is more than a conventional shipowner. Its operations include long-term contracts of affreightment, spot voyage charters, time charters, and terminal/stevedoring activities. The company’s 2024 annual report also shows port and terminal operations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Baltimore, Maryland. This makes Pangaea a more integrated logistics platform than a pure-play carrier, with earnings drivers tied both to seaborne dry bulk demand and to selected port-side services.

Management emphasizes a combination of contract coverage, a specialized fleet, and cargo-focused execution, which has helped the company frequently outperform benchmark indices on time charter equivalent (TCE) rates. The first quarter of 2026 showed that this strategy remained effective, with average TCE still above the relevant benchmark basket.

In late 2024, Pangaea completed the acquisition of fifteen handy-size vessels from Strategic Shipping, meaningfully expanding scale. In September 2025, the company announced that CEO Mark Filanowski would retire effective January 1, 2026, and that COO Mads Petersen would succeed him. In the first quarter of 2026, Pangaea reported revenue of $170.6 million, adjusted EBITDA of $25.2 million, and average TCE of $15,252 per day, while maintaining a solid liquidity profile. For investors, PANL is best viewed as a specialized maritime logistics platform in the United States, with cyclical exposure to freight markets but supported by niche operational strengths and selective geographic reach.
