Notes to Editors

About the Company 

Taylor Maritime Limited is a shipping company listed under the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List, with its shares trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange since May 2021. Between May 2021 and February 2025, the Company was listed under the closed-ended investment funds category of the Official List.  

The Company is focused on navigating shipping market cycles on behalf of its shareholders, leveraging a dynamic and experienced management team with deep relationships in the industry and an agile business model underpinned by low leverage and financial flexibility, to deliver long-term attractive returns through both income and capital appreciation.

About Geared Vessels

Geared vessels are characterised by their own cargo loading equipment. The Handysize and Supra/Ultramax market segments are particularly attractive, given the flexibility, versatility and port accessibility of these vessels which carry necessity goods - principally food and products related to infrastructure building - ensuring broad diversification of fleet activity and stability of earnings through the cycle.
