Basis of Presentation and General Information | 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information: Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (“Star Bulk”) is a global shipping company providing worldwide seaborne transportation solutions in the dry bulk sector. Star Bulk was incorporated in the Marshall Islands on December 13, 2006 and maintains offices in Athens, Oslo, New York, Limassol, Singapore and Germany. Star Bulk’s common shares trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “SBLK”. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Star Bulk and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). The balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but, pursuant to the requirements for interim financial information, does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the 2020 Annual Report. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (the “x`-19”) outbreak a pandemic. In response to the outbreak, many countries, ports and organizations, including those where the Company conducts a large part of its operations, have implemented measures to combat the outbreak, such as quarantines and travel restrictions. These measures have resulted in a significant reduction in global economic activity and extreme volatility in the global financial markets. There continues to be a high level of uncertainty relating to how the pandemic will evolve, including the availability of vaccines and their global deployment, the development of effective treatments, the imposition of effective public safety and other protective measures and the public's and government's responses to such measures. At present, it is not possible to ascertain any future impact of Covid-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance, which may take some time to materialize and may not be fully reflected in the Company’s results for 2020 and 2021. However, an increase in the severity or duration or a resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the timing of wide-scale vaccine distribution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, the carrying value of the Company’s assets, the fair values of the Company’s vessels, and the Company’s ability to pay dividends. As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned a modern fleet of 128 dry bulk vessels consisting of Newcastlemax, Capesize, Post Panamax, Kamsarmax, Panamax, Ultramax and Supramax vessels with a carrying capacity between 52,000 deadweight tonnage (“dwt”) and 210,000 dwt, a combined carrying capacity of 14.1 million dwt and an average age of 9.4 years.
