Marc Saverys has been added to the select group of shipowners shopping for capesize bunkers in the January sales having helped Danish owner Norden towards the sector’s exit door.

Saverys-backed Bocimar joins Idan Ofer, John Angelicoussis, John Fredriksen and Nikolas Martinos in snapping up second hand capes during the past couple of weeks.

Bocimar’s purchase comes with a twist given the owner is in the process of laying up some of the capes in its existing fleet.
