Winning bolsters newcastlemax arm
Chinese capesize specialist Winning International Group has another newcastlemax on its books. The Singapore-based bulker giant has reached a deal for an 18-year bulker, added from Lou and George Kollakis’s Chartworld Shipping. The 206,000 dwt, Namura-built Star Venture has now been renamed Sunny Mamou and will join Winning’s armada hauling bauxite from West Africa to China. No price has been attached to this deal.
In August, Winning added, the 229,000 dwt, Imbari-built Bao An, renamed Winning Wealth, from Seno Kisen. The new additions bring Winning´s newcastlemax arm up to 15 ships.
The last time Winning made the headlines was in September when it placed an order at CSSC yard Qingdao Beihai to facilitate the company’s West Africa to China seaborne trade ordering a pair of so-called WinningMaxes, bulker giants clocking in at 325,000 dwt.
