GENERAL INFORMATION |
GENERAL INFORMATION | 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION ​ The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels and operates in one business segment. ​ At September 30, 2022, the Company’s fleet consisted of 44 drybulk vessels, including 17 Capesize drybulk carriers, 15 Ultramax drybulk carriers and twelve Supramax drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 4,636,000 dwt and an average age of approximately 10.6 years. ​ During September 2021, the Company and Synergy Marine Pte. Ltd. (“Synergy”), a third party, formed a joint venture, GS Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd. (“GSSM”). GSSM is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Synergy as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and was formed to provide ship management services to the Company’s vessels. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cumulative investments GSSM received from the Company and Synergy totaled $50 and $50, respectively, which were used for expenditures directly related to the operations of GSSM. ​ Management has determined that GSSM qualifies as a variable interest entity, and, when aggregating the variable interest held by the Company and Synergy, the Company is the primary beneficiary as the Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact GSSM’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company consolidates GSSM. ​ In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus strain, or COVID-19, to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. Over the course of the pandemic, governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border closures, limitations on public gatherings, working from home, supply chain logistical changes, and closure of non-essential businesses. This led to a significant slowdown in overall economic activity levels globally and a decline in demand for certain of the raw materials that our vessels transport. ​ 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 results for 2022. However, an increase in the severity or duration or a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, any potential variants, the duration of China’s “zero-covid” policy 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.
