- Ama Marine Public Company Limited (AMA.BK) operates as a marine transportation company primarily engaged in the chartering of vessels for the transportation of bulk cargo, including dry bulk commodities such as coal, iron ore, grain, and cement; liquid bulk like petroleum products and chemicals; and containerized cargo. The company offers a range of services encompassing vessel chartering on time charter, voyage charter, and bareboat charter bases; ship management including technical management, crew management, and safety operations; agency services for port calls and logistics coordination; and related maritime support such as bunkering and stevedoring. Its fleet comprises handysize, handymax, supramax, and ultramax bulk carriers, product tankers, and coastal vessels, with operations focused on intra-Asia trade routes, Southeast Asia regional shipping, and select international voyages serving industrial clients in energy, mining, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.
Headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, and founded in 1994, Ama Marine maintains a strong presence in Thailand and extends its geographic operations across Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Singapore, with additional reach to China, Japan, and Australia for cargo trades. The company serves a diverse customer base of power utilities, steel mills, trading houses, and agribusiness firms, positioning it within the competitive dry and liquid bulk shipping segments of the Asian maritime industry.
In recent developments, Ama Marine completed the acquisition of two supramax bulk carriers in early 2025, expanding its fleet capacity to over 1 million deadweight tons and enhancing its competitiveness in the coal and iron ore trades amid rising regional demand. The company secured a strategic long-term time charter partnership with a major Thai power utility in late 2024 for coal transportation, bolstering revenue stability through 2027. Additionally, in mid-2025, Ama Marine launched a digital ship management platform integrating real-time tracking and predictive maintenance, marking its entry into tech-enabled maritime services to improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions in line with IMO 2025 regulations.
