Friday, April 5, 9:03 AM FreeSeas (FREE) says it received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating the company is back in compliance with exchange rules regarding the minimum share price to stay listed. Despite the development, it's anything but clear sailing for the firm in the choppy waters of the dry bulk shipping sector. Comment! [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 27, 8:47 AM The skittish dry bulk shipping sector could take a turn higher today with Jim Cramer backing the sector for a recovery.

Monday, January 7, 12:37 PM Shipping stocks catch a wave with word out that shipping tycoon John Fredriksen might be looking to expand with a new order for vessels.
