History
Pacific Basin was first founded as Pacific Basin Bulk Shipping Limited, a bulk carrier operator, in 1987, but it was acquired and privatised by an independent company in 1996.[1][better source needed] However, the former senior management reestablished the company as Pacific Basin Shipping Limited in 1998. Pacific Basin Shipping Limited was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2004.[1]
Pacific Basin is the owner and operator of Bass Strait, a cargo ship that launched a series of drones that surveilled and harassed United States Navy ships, including the USS Paul Hamilton, in waters off of Southern California in 2019.[2][3]
