Valhal Shipping, the exclusive agent of Greece’s Enesel Group’s dry bulk activities, has added two modern capes in the second quarter of the year, a rare move as few modern capes have changed hands this year.
The fast-growing cape player added the 2015-built Red Sage, now renamed Thalassini Niki, last month for $47.5m and has recently moved for Bocimar’s 2016-built Mineral Yarden, with brokers suggesting a $50.5m price tag for the Imabari-built ship.
Last year, Valhal spent just over $80m on three capes, which have since increased in value by around 40%.
