Greece’s Drydel Shipping has expanded its fleet with a long-term charter deal for a Japanese newbuild.
The Costas Dellaportas-led bulker player is bringing in the 2024-built Twin Delight from Japan’s Soki Kisen for at least three years.
The 40,000 dwt ship recently named and delivered at Imabari will join 18 other Drydel-operated bulkers, with more Japanese tonnage likely to join the fleet in time to come.
In addition to chartered-in vessels, the company, formerly known as Meadway Shipping and Trading, also owns a fleet of 11 kamsarmax to handysize units, with nine more newbuilds set for delivery between 2024 and 2026.
