Himalaya’s board has approved a cash distribution of $0.05 per share for June.
The company has 12 LNG-powered Newcastlemax bulk carriers in its fleet.
China’s New Times delivered Himalaya’s final bulk carrier, Mount Emai, in June 2024.
In March, Himalaya completed a private placement of $15 million in new shares.
Himalaya said the purpose of the placement was to “attract key, strategic shareholders to the company, and to raise proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.”
