Ukrainian-Greek company Aquavita International is about to double its interest in the handysize bulker market with a two-ship purchase.
Aquavita is swooping on the 37,300-dwt Nordic Darwin and Nordic Perth (built 2017) in a sale-and-leaseback move.
Boris Jivotenko, the company's managing director, told TradeWinds his company has signed no contract for the vessels yet but was "close" to doing so.
