Ed Coll, Chief Executive Officer of Pangaea Logistics Solutions, commented:

"Our strong second quarter results outperformed in a challenging dry bulk market that tested historic lows in April and May. Adhering to our strategy in turbulent markets, we limited our exposure by adjusting our fleet composition, redelivering chartered vessels back to their owners over the last several months and replacing them when needed at lower cost. Second quarter 2020 operating income of $6.1 million, before non-cash impairment charges, is a remarkable turnaround from our first quarter of 2020 operating loss of $2.3 million. Our achieved TCE rate of $10,733 per day represented an outperformance of $5,548, or 93% premium over the average market rates.

Mr. Coll added, "Looking forward we move into our seasonally strong summer ice season in a strong position. Although the market has recovered somewhat since June, we are watching global economic output and the disruptions caused by COVID-19, from changes to our working environment to rotating crews aboard our vessels. We sincerely empathize with the hardships our people and their familiars are facing, ashore and aboard our vessels. Our results are encouraging, but we expect, and will prepare for, continued uncertainty and turbulence in our markets over the next few quarters."
