Navios Maritime Partners has trained its sights on the dry-bulk sector for future acquisitions, despite recent moves in the containership space.

Chief executive Angeliki Frangou said today that the Navios Maritime Holdings spinoff will focus on bulker acquisitions going forward, leaving boxship dealmaking for the group's new entity, Navios Containers.

"Navios Partners is anything but shy on acquiring assets," said Stifel analyst Benjamin Nolan.
