Caravelle International Group (Nasdaq: CACO) is a global leader in ocean technology and marine transportation services. Headquartered in Singapore, the company operates in two primary segments: Ocean Transport and Heating Business. The company's core business revolves around seaborne transportation services, including voyage contracts and vessel services on behalf of ship owners. A significant portion of Caravelle's revenue is derived from its ocean transportation business, particularly through freight revenue from voyage contracts.

Caravelle has made notable strides in the field of sustainability, particularly through its pioneering Wood Drying Ship project, which is part of their CO-Tech business under Singapore Garden Technology Pte. Ltd. This innovative technology enables wood desiccation during maritime shipping, utilizing waste heat from exhaust gases. The initiative aims to make the wood drying process highly efficient and environmentally friendly.

Recent achievements include Caravelle's participation in the 2024 Davos Summit, where CEO Dr. Guohua Zhang engaged with Fortune 500 CEOs and ESG leaders to discuss ocean carbon neutrality. This dialogue has sparked collaborations, such as with Maersk, to support the Wood Drying Ship project.

Financially, Caravelle reported a decrease in total revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2023, primarily due to lower ocean freight prices. However, the company remains optimistic, having closed a $6.8 million private placement in January 2024 to fund the launch of its CO-Tech wood drying vessels. The company expects this high-margin opportunity to offset any continued weakness in its shipping business.

Caravelle recently signed a significant manganese ore sourcing agreement with CUEX Metal AG, ensuring stable supply and marking an innovative step in combining ore transportation with wood drying on the same carrier. This initiative aims to optimize resource allocation, promote sustainability, and generate substantial economic benefits, with projected annual revenues of $400-500 million.

In addition, Caravelle has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Water and Forestry of Gabon to develop timber processing and marketing technologies. This will involve recovering merchantable timber from a large construction site, further consolidating Caravelle's leadership in the global timber trade and transportation drying business.
