Safe Bulkers, Inc.

A shipping company that owns and runs a fleet of dry-bulk vessels hauling cargoes like coal, grain, and iron ore across the world's oceans. Safe Bulkers grew out of the Hajioannou family's shipping business, which began in the late 1950s, and was incorporated in 2007 to bring the family's many vessel-owning companies under one roof. Its name came from an early management company the family called "Safety Management Overseas," a nod to the maritime safety rules then reshaping the industry.
