Built to Own, Operate, and Deliver

This spring and summer, our fleet completed three back‑to‑back dry‑dock milestones at Zhoushan Huafeng Shipyard. On 8 April, the 35,000‑DWT Bao Shun returned to service after a thorough inspection. Just weeks later, on 20 May, the 24,000‑DWT Bao An followed suit. Most recently, on 15 July, the 30,000‑DWT Bao Long cleared the dock right on schedule. These seamless turnarounds refresh our vessels’ safety and efficiency and highlight our team’s strong coordination with the yard—keeping our ships ready for reliable performance worldwide.

On 13 July, Shengda 8 steamed back into home waters and tied up at Nanjing’s Mingzhou Wharf right on cue. Director Zhou led a five‑member task force from Operations, Marine/Technical, and HR aboard to greet our hardworking crew and take the pulse of daily operations.

The agenda was full: check recent inspections, fine‑tune maintenance plans, and map out next‑step tasks to keep the ship running safely and efficiently. Boarding formalities were brisk, and by ten‑o’clock we were shaking hands with the Captain in his office.

After a meet and greet with all crew members, we headed to the bridge and engine room. The watch hand‑over was textbook—every checklist ticked, every call logged. Meanwhile, our marine superintendent dove into detailed discussions with the chief officer and chief engineer, ensuring that professional guidance reached the people who keep this vessel humming.

Acuon Capital Corporation’s Vice General Manager, Mr. Whoon‑Joong Kim, traveled from Seoul to reunite in Nanjing with our CEO, Mr. Liu Xudong, celebrating nearly a decade of partnership that began with their joint purchase of the vessel “BAO DA” in April 2018. Since then, the two leaders have closed nine ship‑acquisition deals totaling almost USD 40 million—each completed smoothly, on schedule, and to mutual benefit. During this latest visit they reviewed those successes and agreed to pursue their next project: acquiring a 57 K DWT vessel late this year or early next, maintaining open communication to ensure another win‑win outcome.

Recently, Mr. Chen, representing the owner company of the bulk carrier “Sheng Da 8,” led a delegation to our headquarters for a working visit. The guests toured our offices and operations center, commended our achievements in vessel management and service quality, and held cordial talks on strengthening information exchange and future collaboration. Both parties expressed confidence in forging closer ties and driving more value together.

On 28 May 2025, Mr Masakatsu Tsuru, General Manager of Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) Shanghai Branch, led a delegation to our office in Nanjing. The guests toured the facilities and provided many valuable insights, helping our company's journey in achieving outstanding ship safety and management standards. Both sides exchanged views on enhancing communication and professional collaboration, expressing optimism about deeper ties and broader cooperation in the future.

We recently held a joyful retirement celebration for Mr. Yang, our longtime Office Manager, and Mrs. Zhang, the dedicated lead of our Finance Division. Surrounded by the entire team at two large tables, we shared a warm evening of laughter, great food, and heartfelt gratitude. Their years of hard work, care, and leadership have meant so much to all of us. We sincerely thank them for their unwavering dedication and the countless ways they’ve supported this company. While we celebrated their retirement, we’re deeply grateful to welcome them back for a few more years post-retirement!
