Alongside the earnings release, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, marking the 16th consecutive quarterly common dividend and underscoring its commitment to consistent capital returns even during periods of freight rate volatility.
The company reported solid Q3 numbers with strong cost control, beating analyst’s consensus estimates.
