Thoresen Shipping, the dry bulk shipping business under Thoresen Thai Agencies, has acquired M.V. Thor Dan Siam, a Handysize dry bulk carrier built in 2016 with a deadweight tonnage of 34,407 and an age of approximately 9.7 years. This is the second vessel Thoresen Shipping has added in 2026, following the earlier acquisition of M.V. Thor Phra Samut, an Ultramax dry bulk carrier that joined the fleet in July. Adding two vessels in the same year reflects Thoresen Shipping's fleet management strategy of balancing size, agility, and efficiency, with a fleet spanning Handysize, Supramax, and Ultramax to increase flexibility in accommodating diverse cargoes, trade routes, and port restrictions. This reinforces its standing as a world-class fleet and its number one ranking in fleet operational efficiency in 2025. In the first six months of 2026, the shipping business group achieved an average time charter equivalent of 16,614 US dollars per vessel per day, 14 percent above the net Supramax market rate, demonstrating its ability to manage the fleet and consistently deliver above-market returns. Following the delivery, Thoresen Shipping owns a total of 25 vessels, comprising 21 Supramax, 3 Ultramax, and 1 Handysize, with a total deadweight tonnage of 1,390,666, an average deadweight tonnage of 55,627, and an average fleet age of 16.9 years.
