Theodore Veniamis-led Golden Union continues to expand its bulker fleet and has bought a 10-year-old Japanese-built capesize.
The company has bought the Koyo-built 180,000-dwt Shin Zui (built 2007) from Shoei Kisen of Japan for $15.7m, sources say.
The deal reflects a firming in asset values, brokers believe.
In December the then 10-year-old 180,000-dwt Imabari built Bulk Hong Kong (built 2016) was sold to Berge Bulk for $14.2m.
