Bangkok: Dry bulk vessel operator, Thoresen Shipping, has added three more supramax vessels to its fleet at a cost of $70m.
The three vessels will increase the company’s fleet to a total of 23 ships, with an average age of approximately 10.6 years old, and are due for delivery between 30 March to 30 June this year.
The acquisition is part of the company's on-going renewal plan to develop a fleet of modern dry bulk vessels and increase operating efficiencies, according to Thoresen.
“This is an exciting time for us. We are growing capacity, and doing so with a younger, more efficient fleet. These three newly added vessels further strengthen our ability to enhance service for our growing customer base across our ever widening global network in the dry bulk sector,” said Ian Claxton, managing director of Thoresen Shipping.
