On June 6th, 2025, Ascent Bulk marked a significant milestone—five years of growth, resilience, and partnership in the maritime industry. The celebration began in style with a Golf Tournament at the stunning Đồi Rồng Golf Course, where over 40 golfers gathered for a day of sport and camaraderie. Attendees included shipowners, ship operators, financial institutions, and service providers from across the region and beyond.

Under clear skies and against the scenic backdrop of the course, players enjoyed not just the competition but also the relaxed, social spirit of the event. The swings, laughter, and shared passion for golf reflected the same energy that drives collaboration in the shipping world.
The celebration continued into the evening with a spectacular Gala Dinner at Lạc Hồng Palace. Welcoming more than 100 esteemed guests from Vietnam and international circles, the night came alive with dynamic dance performances, soulful songs, and a fine culinary experience. It was an evening of connection, gratitude, and festivity.
In his speech, Mr. David Hoàng, CEO of Ascent Bulk, shared a powerful message with the attendees:
“We have a strong belief that whether you are a client, a partner, or a part of our team, we will grow together stronger, bigger, faster — reaching the new height of the shipping industry.”
The celebration not only looked back on the remarkable journey since Ascent Bulk’s humble beginnings, but also set the tone for the years to come. From a start-up to a 23-person team moving approximately 10 million metric tons of cargo annually, the company stands as a symbol of ambition and integrity in dry bulk shipping.
Ascent Bulk’s 5th Anniversary was more than an event—it was a testament to the shared commitment of its people and partners. With renewed energy and a united vision, the team looks ahead to the future: “TOGETHER WE GROW.”
