Star Bulk Carriers Corp.

A global shipping company that hauls dry bulk cargoes—iron ore, coal, grain, bauxite, and fertilizers—across the world's oceans in a large fleet of vessels ranging from Supramax to giant Capesize ships. It grew out of Star Maritime Acquisition Corp., a "blank check" company formed in 2005 to buy ships; after a 2007 merger, Star Bulk emerged as the surviving firm and kept the "Star" name from its predecessor. The company is incorporated in the Marshall Islands and trades on the NASDAQ.
