Castor Maritime's primary offering is the operation of a diversified fleet of dry bulk and containership vessels. The fleet transports major and minor bulk commodities as well as containerized cargo along worldwide shipping routes.
As of mid-2026 the company reported a fleet of 11 vessels with an aggregate capacity of approximately 0.9 million dwt, including modern-eco Kamsarmax bulk carriers acquired to improve fuel efficiency and earnings potential.
Castor Maritime operates in the global dry bulk and containership markets, where charter rates and vessel values fluctuate with macroeconomic demand, commodity trade flows, and fleet supply. The company cites market volatility, bunker costs, regulatory compliance, and geopolitical disruptions as key factors affecting its business.
Its strategy emphasizes owning modern, fuel-efficient vessels and expanding fleet capacity through accretive acquisitions. The company also seeks to diversify into asset management and energy infrastructure projects to complement its core vessel-owning business.
Castor Maritime emphasizes a diversified fleet profile spanning dry bulk and containership segments, which can reduce exposure to a single shipping sub-market. The company targets modern, fuel-efficient vessels that lower operating costs and align with evolving environmental regulations.
Its strategic expansion into asset management and energy infrastructure, together with the majority stake in MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG, provides additional revenue streams beyond spot and period charter earnings. Management highlights a disciplined acquisition approach funded with cash on hand when possible.
