Costamare Inc.

Costamare Inc. operates a diversified fleet of container and dry bulk vessels engaged in international maritime freight transportation. The company owns and charters containerships to liner operators for transporting containerized cargo on global trade routes, while separately operating dry bulk vessels that transport commodities such as grain, coal, ores, and other raw materials. As of February 2025, the fleet comprised 68 containerships and 38 dry bulk vessels deployed across worldwide shipping routes.

The company generates revenue through time-charter and voyage-charter arrangements with customers spanning major shipping lines and commodity traders. The containership segment services containerized cargo routes connecting major international ports, while the dry bulk segment serves demand from agricultural, mining, and energy industries requiring bulk commodity transport. Both segments operate on contract-based business models where vessel capacity is leased to customers for specified periods or individual voyages.

Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Monaco, Costamare maintains significant scale in the global shipping market. The company is incorporated in the Marshall Islands and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, reflecting its status as a substantial operator in deep-sea freight transportation.
