Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited is an international dry-bulk shipowner created when Costamare’s dry-bulk business was separated into a standalone platform. Its lineage ties back to the Costamare group’s expansion beyond containerships into bulk carriers, with the new company structured as the holding entity for the owned dry-bulk fleet and related subsidiaries. Corporate filings and announcements describe the separation as a move to simplify the group’s structure and align each business with its own capital and operating profile.
The company’s core activity is straightforward: own oceangoing bulk carriers and employ them on industry-standard time charters, voyage charters, and contracts of affreightment with commodity producers and traders worldwide. Public materials highlight a sizeable owned fleet deployed across established bulk routes, with employment strategies designed to balance contracted coverage and market exposure.
Alongside ship ownership, the platform includes a dry-bulk operating arm—Costamare Bulkers Inc. (CBI)—that charters vessels in and out, arranges contracts of affreightment, and uses freight derivatives and hedging to manage exposure. The operating unit runs from offices in Monaco and Athens, giving the group flexibility to scale capacity and tailor commercial solutions around customer needs beyond its owned ships.
