The Tomini Shipping company, anchored in the United Arab Emirates, reported a financial setback in 2020 due to escalating financial charges associated with their burgeoning bulker fleet. The company, boasting a fleet of 17 bulk carriers ranging from supramax to kamsarmax, disclosed a net loss of $3.1 million the previous year. Despite the revenue for Tomini Shipping, which holds a position in Norway’s over-the-counter market, ascending to $35.6 million from an earlier figure of $33.3 million, financial outlays surged to $8.1 million from a former $6 million. This rise was attributed to interest-bearing loans burgeoning to $136.6 million, in stark contrast to $80.7 million in 2019. Tomini Shipping, rooted in the United Arab Emirates, has an outstanding obligation of $15.8 million towards the culmination of a $24 million kamsarmax vessel, named MV Tomini Royalty, slated to be delivered by Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding in China come December. While 2019 saw an unredeemed capital expenditure of $94 million, Tomini Shipping, now listed on Oslo OTC, has since taken possession of another kamsarmax vessel crafted by Taizhou Kouan, the 82,000 DWT MV Tomini Nobility, whilst concurrently aborting a third.
