Two Greek names have entered the newcastlemax segment with a raft of big bulkers changing hands in recent days.
Late last week, Splash revealed that Korean cape player Polaris had sold four 2020-2021 Chinese-built newcastlemaxes.
Now, sales registers reveal that Thenamaris’ 22-ship-strong bulker arm will balloon with these four ships, the largest bulk carriers the Nikolas Martinos-led firms bought to date, each ship costing in the region of $65m.
In a separate development six-ship strong capesize player Neda Maritime, controlled by the Lykiardopoulos family, has emerged as the buyer of two 2019-built newcastlemaxes – the Bulk Shanghai and Bulk Seoul – sold for $127.5m by Tor Olav Trøim-backed 2020 Bulkers earlier this week.
