Primerose Shipping of Greece has emerged as the buyer of a modern kamsarmax sold earlier this week by cash-strapped Noble Group.

Primerose managers confirmed the deal for the 82,000-dwt Ocean Integrity (built 2015), saying they are expecting to take delivery of it in Piraeus later this month. This is the Gerassimos Kalogiratos-led outfit’s first recorded ship purchase in more than four years.
