DryDel CEO, Mr. Costas Delaportas, takes the stage at Geneva Dry 2025

DryDel Shipping is proud to see the CEO, Mr. Costas Delaportas, take the stage at Geneva Dry 2025, in a top-tier panel to discuss agri-cultural commodities trends & challenges.

The event, expertly organized by Grant Rowles & Sam Chambers at the historic Hotel President Wilson, brought together leading voices and market movers from across the dry bulk sector.

Mr. Delaportas shared valuable insights on the current state & future of dry bulk shipping, including:

  • ”In shipping, we love competition! We compete every day…against tariffs, regulations, the rates, for assets, cargoes, and so on”
  • “It’s high time for dry bulk fleet renewal — highly beneficial for the market & the environment.”
  • “We manage volatility through diversification, flexibility and modern fleet: diversified as shipowners & operators -fixing more than 5mil mt cargoes annually-, providing high flexibility to Charterers, and modern fleet for efficiency & competitiveness.”
  • ”Congestion is building up in South America — a positive impact on the market.”
  • ”Now it may be an opportunity to take advantage of reducing asset prices on the second-hand market.”

We thank the organizers for hosting such an insightful event, and we look forward to contributing to a more efficient, competitive, and sustainable future for the dry bulk industry!
