Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc (EGLE)
Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. operates in the shipping and logistics industry. It is engaged in the ocean transportation of dry bulk cargoes through the ownership, charter, and operation of dry bulk vessels. The company’s fleet is comprised of Supramax and Ultramax bulk carriers. The firm provides the following services: commercial operations and technical supervision; vessel maintenance and repair; vessel acquisition and sale; finance, accounting, treasury, and information technology services; and legal, compliance, and insurance services. It transports a broad range of major and minor bulk cargoes, including coal, grain, ore, pet coke, cement, and fertilizer. Overseas container shipping from the US involves transporting goods in standardized containers via sea freight. This method is often more cost-effective for bulk shipments but may have longer transit times. Customs compliance, port fees, and international trade regulations are key considerations to ensure a smooth and efficient shipping process.
