PANAMAX bulker Golden Seas successfully anchored in Broad Bay in Dutch Harbor at 12:52 p.m. after the tug Tor Viking II towed it more than 500 miles along the Aleutian Islands through seas of more than 20 feet at times.

The company, which transports mostly dry-bulk cargoes and containers, has seen declining results in recent quarters on weak demand and lower rates as a number of ships--ordered when commodity prices were booming--were launched.

Paragon has commissioned seven more ships, which are expected to be completed in 2011 and 2012.
