Maritime Equity Partners' (MEP) 2010-built Massallia (58,000) brings the number of supramaxes in the pool to 43.

The US-owned vessel was built at Yangzhou Dayang and is listed as managed by Thome.

Navig8 said last month that the 46,000-dwt tanker Loukas I (built 2005) was due to be added to its Chronos8 chemical carrier pool in December.

The vessel is owned by Marflet of Spain.
