Three Greece-based companies have boosted their fleets with dry bulk units acquired recently in deals where the buyers' identity had remained unclear until now.

Nicolas and Marily Frangistas-led FCN Management has taken its second bulker this year. The 37,300-dwt Gadwall (renamed Maria G, built 2007) has appeared on the company’s website, the eighth vessel under its management.

 The ship was first reported sold by Parakou Shipping in January for $6m.
