Istanbul-based Beks Shipmanagement is reported joining a string of other Turkish owners, trying their luck in the secondhand market.
This week, sales registers and broking reports indicate that the fast-growing owner has tabled around $31m for the 10-year-old cape Prosperous, sold by Chinese owner Teh Hu Cargocean. The ship is reported in good condition, with its special survey passed in May and several years until its next drydock.
