The risks GENCO SHIPPING & TRADING LTD names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 18, 2026: 55 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • Industry Specific Risk Factors
  • A downturn in the global economic environment may negatively impact our business.
  • Trade policies and disputes may negatively impact our business.
  • Freight and charterhire rates for drybulk carriers could decrease in the future, which may adversely affect our earnings.
  • Prolonged declines in freight and charter rates, changes in the useful life of vessels, and other market deterioration could cause us to incur impairment charges.
  • Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results.
  • Our vessels are exposed to international risks that could reduce revenue or increase expenses.
  • We are subject to regulation and liability under environmental and operational safety laws that could require significant expenditures or subject us to increased liability.
  • The proliferation of uncoordinated regional and national carbon pricing schemes may create a fragmented regulatory environment, increasing our compliance burden and operational costs.
  • Increased inspection procedures and tighter import and export controls could increase costs and disrupt our business.
  • Our vessels may suffer damage, resulting in unexpected drydocking costs.
  • The operation of drybulk vessels has certain unique operational risks which could affect our earnings and cash flow.
The other 44 risks
  • Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels have continued and could adversely affect our business.
  • Military actions, terrorist attacks, and other acts of violence may have an adverse effect on our business.
  • Compliance with safety and other vessel requirements imposed by classification societies may be costly and could reduce our net cash flows and net income.
  • If our vessels call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments, that could adversely affect our reputation and the market for our common shares.
  • We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, UK Bribery Act, and other applicable worldwide anti-corruption laws.
  • We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled employees or crew necessary to operate our business.
  • Arrests of our vessels by maritime claimants could cause a significant loss of earnings for the related off-hire period.
  • Labor interruptions could disrupt our business.
  • The smuggling of drugs or other contraband onto our vessels may lead to governmental claims against us.
  • Governments could requisition our vessels during a period of war or emergency, resulting in loss of earnings.
  • Changes in fuel prices could adversely affect our profits.
  • Our results of operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may adversely affect our financial condition.
  • Company Specific Risk Factors
  • Our earnings and our ability to pay dividends will be adversely affected if we do not successfully employ our vessels.
  • We are currently subject to a proxy contest seeking to replace all members of our Board of Directors, which could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.
  • We may face liquidity issues if conditions in the drybulk market worsen for a prolonged period.
  • The market values of our vessels may decrease, which could adversely affect our operating results.
  • Restrictive covenants under our credit facility may restrict our growth and operations.
  • We depend upon ten charterers for a large part of our revenues. The loss of any significant customers could adversely affect our financial performance.
  • The aging of our fleet and our practice of purchasing and operating previously owned vessels may result in increased operating costs and vessels off-hire, which could adversely affect our earnings.
  • An increase in interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition.
  • We depend significantly on our GSSM joint venture for technical management of our fleet.
  • We may not be able to compete for charters with companies with greater resources in the drybulk industry.
  • Future dividends are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors; dividends and share repurchases are subject to covenant compliance under our credit facility.
  • We may not be able to grow or effectively manage our growth, which could cause us to incur additional indebtedness and other liabilities.
  • We currently maintain all of our cash and cash equivalents with six financial institutions, which causes credit risk.
  • As a holding company, we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations or to make dividend payments.
  • We are at risk for the creditworthiness of our charterers.
  • If we cannot obtain certain reports as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, it could result in a decrease in the value of our common stock.
  • We may not have adequate insurance to compensate us if we lose our vessels or to compensate third parties.
  • We may have to pay U.S. tax on U.S. source income, which will reduce our net income and cash flows.
  • U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment company,” which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders.
  • Because we generate all of our revenues in U.S. dollars but incur a portion of our expenses in other currencies, exchange rate fluctuations could hurt our business.
  • Legislative action relating to taxation could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Our short-term shareholder rights agreement could prevent a potential acquisition of control of our Company, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.
  • Because we are a foreign corporation, you may not have the same rights or protections that a shareholder in a U.S. corporation may have.
  • Future sales of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
  • We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all or which may dilute our common stock or adversely affect its market price.
  • Volatility in the market price and trading volume of our common stock could adversely impact its trading price.
  • Provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws may have anti-takeover effects which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
  • Election and Removal of Directors.
  • Limited Actions by Shareholders.
  • Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations.
  • It may not be possible for our investors to enforce U.S. judgments against us.

Legal proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings that we believe are likely to have, or have had a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows, nor are we aware of any other proceedings that are pending or threatened which we believe are likely to have a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. We expect that these claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles. These claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
