The company will offer 2 million shares, while selling stockholders will offer an additional 1.4 million shares.

Bermuda-based TBS said late Monday it plans to use proceeds for general corporate purposes, such as secondhand vessel acquisitions; the acquisition or construction of new vessels; to repay debt and working capital or capital expenditure additions.

The company's ship transport goods such as grain, iron ore and coal.

The underwriters will have an option to buy an additional 510,000 shares.

Jefferies & Co. Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.

TBS International's stock fell $2.31, or 4.4 percent, to $50.50 in electronic premarket trading. The stock closed at $52.81 on Monday.
