  "account": "Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited reported improved financial performance during the first half of 2026, marking a return to profitability. Revenue for the period decreased 13% compared to the same period in 2025, reaching US$69,252,000. However, the Group achieved a consolidated net profit of US$9,593,000 during the half-year, up from a net loss of US$15,149,000 in the same period of 2025. The average daily time charter equivalent rate for the fleet rose to US$17,150, indicating stronger market rates despite a reduction in the number of vessels in operation from thirty-two to twenty-one. The decline in revenue was primarily due to the disposal of eight Supramaxes earlier in the year. The company capitalized on tighter market conditions, driven by geopolitical disruptions and trade inefficiencies, by maintaining disciplined cost controls and focusing on optimizing vessel deployment. The Group has entered into six shipbuilding contracts for Ultramax newbuildings, with expected deliveries between 2026 and 2030, further contributing to its fleet renewal strategy aimed at enhancing market competitiveness and long-term sustainability.",
