GoodBulk has officially abandoned its effort to become publicly listed in New York but is still open to trying again.

GoodBulk filed for the IPO on the eve of the Posidonia 2018 shipping conference, with backing from seven banks.

The company tried to sell 8.5m shares for between $15.50 and $17.50 on the Nasdaq exchange for $140m but backed away a month later after selling no shares in the offering.
