History and Development

Golden Ocean traces its origins to 1996, when the company was incorporated in Bermuda under the name Knightsbridge Tankers Limited. In its early years, the business focused primarily on oil transportation through large crude carriers.

The company later shifted its strategic focus toward the dry bulk shipping segment, gradually building a fleet designed to transport key industrial commodities such as iron ore and coal.

A major milestone occurred when the company merged with a dry bulk operator and adopted the name Golden Ocean Group Limited, reinforcing its positioning in the global bulk shipping market.

Today, Golden Ocean operates one of the largest publicly traded dry bulk fleets, serving international commodity trade routes and focusing on efficient fleet management, long-term charter strategies, and participation in the global seaborne commodities market.
