Handysize bulker operator Taylor Maritime has risen at a meteoric pace since founder Edward Buttery bought his first ship in September 2014.

With a seemingly insatiable appetite for tonnage, the Hong Kong-based company has amassed a fleet of 28 vessels.

While Taylor Maritime tends to keep a relatively low profile, Buttery shared some insights into its business model on the sidelines at last week's TradeWinds Shipowners' Forum in Singapore.
