Polembros took delivery this month of the Imabari-built, 95,700-dwt post-panamax Earnest Sky (renamed Dilos Warrior, built 2012).

Polembros managing directorGeorge Vakirtzis confirms the transaction but does not divulge the price. He says the company agreed to buy the ship from Japan-ese buyers in a private deal concluded in spring last year, with forward delivery this month.

The deal’s timing is remarkable.
