Himalaya aims to enter into index related charters for a significant part of its fleet, stating in a release this week that it expects to benefit from a potential tightening market

The company will trade under the ticker HSHIP. Himalaya is also targeting an up-listing to Euronext Expand during the first half of next year.

Trøim chairs Golar LNG and is a director at Borr Drilling. Previous exposure to dry bulk came via Golden Ocean and his many years working with John Fredriksen after which he went on to found 2020 Bulkers.
