Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SHIP) is a Marshall Islands corporation with its executive offices based in Athens, Greece. The company specializes in the transportation of dry bulk cargoes through its fleet of dry bulk carriers. By owning and operating an extensive fleet of vessels including the Fellowship, Championship, Partnership, Knightship, Lordship, Gloriuship, Leadership, Geniuship, Premiership, and Squireship, Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. has established a significant presence in the global maritime shipping industry.
The company generates a majority of its revenue from the operation of these vessels.

Revenue for the same period grew to $39.4 million, up from $28.5 million. Despite a highly volatile Capesize market, Seanergy's daily time charter equivalent (TCE) rates surpassed the Baltic Capesize Index (BCI) by 7% in 2023.
For the first three months of 2024, Seanergy projects a TCE of $23,219 per day. Over the full year, the company achieved a net income of $2.3 million and an average daily rate of $17,501, exceeding the BCI average of $16,389. The company's consistent ability to generate higher revenues from its Capesize fleet compared to industry benchmarks differentiates it from other shipping companies.
In February 2024, Seanergy acquired a 2013 Japanese-built Capesize dry bulk vessel with a capacity of 181,392 deadweight tons (dwt), renamed M/V Iconship. The purchase price was $33.7 million, with the vessel's value increasing to $38 million. CEO Stamatis Tsantanis highlighted the company's strategy of fleet expansion, share buybacks, and dividend payments, aiming for balanced capital allocation and rewarding shareholders.
Seanergy's spin-off company, United Maritime Corporation (NASDAQ: USEA), also achieved significant milestones, including a sale-and-leaseback transaction to generate liquidity and potentially expand its fleet.
