The Board of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (the 'Company') is
pleased to announce the unaudited condensed consolidated results of the Company
and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the quarter and six months ended 30 June
2024.

The dry bulk market showed counter-seasonal strength at the beginning of year
supported by the increase in demand of dry bulk commodities, limited shipyard
capacity and longer sailing distances from emissions reduction policies on
environmental regulations. The market freight rates regained strength and
rebound despite the simultaneous occurrence of multiple geo-political issues
that affected the business sentiment.

The Group reported a revenue for the second quarter of 2024 of US$41,245,000,
representing an increase of 81% as compared to US$22,797,000 for the
corresponding quarter in 2023. The Company recorded a consolidated net profit of
US$8,816,000 for current quarter as compared to a consolidated net loss of
US$6,509,000 for the corresponding quarter in 2023. Basic earnings per share for
the second quarter was US$0.081 as compared to basic loss per share of US$0.060
for the same quarter in 2023. The average daily time charter equivalent rates

2024 as compared to US$10,132 for the corresponding quarter in 2023.

rate for the fleet improving 66% to US$13,939 for the first half of 2024 as

rebound of dry bulk shipping market, market freight rates began to regain
strength driven by the robust demand for dry bulk commodities, especially strong
minor bulks trade and limited supply of vessels as compared to lackluster
freight rates upon the weak dry bulk shipping market sentiment in the first half
of 2023.

As at 30 June 2024, the Group operates twenty-three owned vessels and ten
chartered-in vessels, with total carrying capacity of approximately 2,020,000
