Paragon Shipping Inc

A Greece-based maritime transportation company that owned and operated dry bulk vessels, carrying commodities like coal, grain, and iron ore across the world's oceans aboard Supramax and Handysize carriers. Founded in 2006 by Greek shipping figure Michael Bodouroglou, the company grew from an initial six ships to a fleet of over a dozen before filing for bankruptcy in 2016. The name "Paragon" — meaning a model of excellence — has a long maritime history, having adorned ships since the 18th century.
