3 4Q23 & FY2023 Performance Highlights Strong operating results highlight consistency of cargo-focused strategy Superior TCE rate driven by long-term COAs, seasonal ice-class utilization and cargo-focused strategy resulted in TCE rates exceeding the benchmark average Baltic Panamax and Supramax indices by 27%+ in 4Q23 and 39% for FY2023. Despite 43% y/y decline in market rates in 2023 as post-pandemic port capacity constraints eased, maintained Adj. EBITDA margins of 16% for FY2023, well above pre-pandemic levels of ~13% due to disciplined operating expense management and execution of chartered-in strategy. In November 2023, completed the sale of the Supramax Bulk Trident for $9.8 million. The Company will continue to evaluate fleet renewal and expansion opportunities, particularly in-light of growing demand in key trades. Continue to execute on key capital allocation priorities, maintaining cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, paid on March 15th. Geopolitical disruptions are supporting market pricing during a period of normal seasonal softness in Q1 . As of March 12, 2024, booked 3,513 revenue days at an average TCE of $17,430/day, and 1,300 charter-in expense days at an average cost of $17,100 During 2023, the Company deployed $7.2 million in capital to opportunistically expand its on-shore stevedoring business across the U.S mid-Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions to further vertically integrate its business model and improve its position in key trades.

9 Macro Shipping Outlook Focused on providing comprehensive logistics solutions with targeted dry bulks Near Term Outlook (1H24) Medium Term Outlook (Full-Year 2024) Long-Term Outlook (2024-2026) • Geo-political tensions are continuing to create market inefficiencies and support market pricing during the typically soft Q1 period • US Infrastructure spending is beginning to ramp up, creating favorable tailwinds for construction related raw materials • Global dry bulk fleet growth is expected to remain limited amid limited new-building activity • Trade disruptions resulting from geopolitical tensions are expected to increase could create opportunities as trade looks to avoid regions of turmoil • Current risk to medium-term rate improvement is a more pronounced global recession • Clarity in emissions free fuel alternatives creates opportunity for fleet renewal and niche offerings • Supply chain reorganizations provide the opportunity for the Company to grow its logistics offerings with new and existing customers • Emissions regulations will continue to put pressure on markets as fleets age amid limited new and compliant vessels are built


 
10 Value Creation Strategy Durable business model insulated from macro volatility – focused on deploying capital to drive above-sector growth Integrated shipping- logistics model • Provide solutions to customer supply chain issues • More efficient, lower total cost of delivery for customer • Adds volume and margins to PANL ocean freight offerings High fleet utilization • Utilize chartered in fleet to arbitrage vessel positions and provide more revenue days Organic investment • Expand capabilities to offer cargo movement beyond ocean transportation • Expand owned fleet for growth using our unique business plan • Apply consistent approach to expand and renew fleet Inorganic investment • Purchase vessels in support of existing long- term COAs, to maximize returns • Acquire logistics companies to grow in logistics sector Return of capital • Sustain consistent dividend approach, not a payout formula • Conserve capital for fleet renewal and opportunistic growth • Compensate for volatility of sector by maintaining reasonable liquidity Balance sheet optionality • Promote historical lending relationships, sustainable business plan, and consistent performance to help provide favorable lending terms • Maintain low net leverage and substantial free cash generation to provide flexibility in financing growth projects • Consider joint ventures to help mitigate risks and create synergies


 
11 Investment Conclusion Small-cap growth play with stable return of capital program Integrated shipping-logistics model delivering consistent, above-market returns Focused on consistently high fleet utilization to drive operating leverage Positioned to benefit from tightening global supply of dry- bulk vessels amid continued demand growth On-shore logistics offering provides significant, incremental revenue opportunities Leading position within Ice-Class trades supports superior earned TCE rates Disciplined capital allocation strategy Long-term cargo-based contracts provide multi-year demand visibility Significant balance sheet optionality to pursue growth, low net leverage
