Unleashing Growth Potential: Genco Shipping &amp; Trading Surpasses Expectations with Strong Performance and Increasing Profits

Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSX#NYSE">DSX</a>), (the "Company"), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership and bareboat charter-in of dry bulk vessels, today announced that, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, it has entered into a time charter contract with Louis Dreyfus Company Freight Asia Pte. Ltd., for one of its Ice Class Panamax dry bulk vessels, the m/v Crystalia. The gross charter rate is US$13,900, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties, for a period of minimum twenty-one (21) months to maximum twenty-five (25) months. The charter is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2024. &nbsp;
The "Crystalia" is a 77,525 dwt Ice Class Panamax dry bulk vessel built in 2014.
The employment of "Crystalia" is anticipated to generate approximately US$8.76 million of gross revenue for the minimum scheduled period of the time charter.
Upon completion of the previously announced sales of m/v Houston and m/v Artemis, Diana Shipping Inc.'s fleet will consist of 38 dry bulk vessels: 4 Newcastlemax, 8 Capesize, 5 Post-Panamax, 6 Kamsarmax, 6 Panamax and 9 Ultramax. The Company also expects to take delivery of two methanol dual fuel new-building Kamsarmax dry bulk vessels by the second half of 2027 and the first half of 2028, respectively. As of today, the combined carrying capacity of the Company's fleet including the m/v Houston and m/v Artemis and excluding the two vessels not yet delivered, is approximately 4.5 million dwt with a weighted average age of 10.69 years. A table describing the current Diana Shipping Inc. fleet can be found on the Company's website, <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=F4a7IX4eiKg4fhxw-OzH7Zup4IGCAEHtbskkFm-7E0pMXnz-nXvHMqnxBCaR9-0-iAG1Kzhx_VIXl2E8Xy3doNgKtzd4QOl1IuDFvyV7hCQ=">www.dianashippinginc.com</a>.

Diana Shipping Inc. Announces Time Charter Contract For m/v Crystalia With Louis Dreyfus Company; Gross Charter Rate Is $13,900, Minus A 5% Commission Paid To Third Parties

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Diana Shipping (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSX#NYSE">DSX</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 7.5 cents per share. On Monday, Diana Shipping will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 7.5 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own DSX as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 7.5 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 12, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
