INTEGRATED REPORT 2023
LOOKING BEYOND
Ensure long-term sustainability of the Company
We aim to enhance existing processes to facilitate
more streamlined record-keeping and reporting
practices. Additionally, we seek to broaden our
engagement with 昀椀nanciers, advocating for and
educating them on the bene昀椀ts of our eco-friendly
newbuild program. By articulating the mutual
advantages for both Gearbulk and the 昀椀nanciers,
we endeavour to foster a collaborative partnership
that extends beyond mere 昀椀nancial transactions.
Furthermore, we explore opportunities to share
the 昀椀nancial bene昀椀ts derived from this approach,
thereby strengthening our collective commitment
to sustainability and 昀椀nancial prosperity.
Explore new and innovative sources of 昀椀nance,
while maintaining the core 昀椀nanciers
We aim to establish a dedicated project workgroup
tasked with exploring Green 昀椀nance opportunities within the shipping sector. This initiative
may involve engaging consultants or advisors to
enhance our understanding and strategize e昀昀ectively. Furthermore, we delve into Gearbulk’s
potential involvement in various ‘Green 昀椀nance’
initiatives such as EU green 昀椀nance and Hydrogen
Bank. Adjustments to our newbuild program will be
made as necessary to align with Green incentives.
Success in this endeavour will be gauged by metrics
such as the amount of funds raised in millions of
dollars or the number of successful applications
secured.
