U.S. futures subdued as government shutdown stretches into second week
NEWPORT, R.I. - Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. (NASDAQ:PANL), a shipping company with a market capitalization of $365 million and annual revenue of $580 million, announced Wednesday that Chief Executive Officer Mark Filanowski will retire effective January 1, 2026, after eleven years with the company. Mads Petersen, the company’s current Chief Operating Officer, will succeed Filanowski as President and CEO and join the board of directors on the same date.
Petersen has been with Pangaea for 16 years and brings more than 20 years of experience in the dry bulk shipping industry. He established Nordic Bulk Carriers in partnership with Pangaea in 2009 and has led the company’s Copenhagen office, focusing on ice-class vessel activities and overseeing newbuilding activities in Japan and China. Since 2022, he has been responsible for Pangaea’s commercial, operational, and technical functions.
During Filanowski’s tenure, Pangaea’s owned vessel fleet tripled in size, and its port and logistics operations expanded to 10 marine terminals across the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The company has demonstrated strong financial performance, with InvestingPro data showing impressive returns over both three-month and five-year periods, though it currently trades at a relatively high P/E ratio of 34.8.
"I have full confidence that Mads is the right leader to take Pangaea into its next chapter," said Filanowski in the company’s press release statement.
Richard du Moulin, Chairman of Pangaea’s Board of Directors, noted that the succession follows a "thoughtful planning process" and expressed confidence in Petersen’s ability to lead the company’s next phase of growth.
