John Fredriksen’s Golden Ocean Group has fixed out three capesizes to Quadrolink on one-year time charters.

This week, the charterer took the 169,000-dwt Golden Feng (built 2009) at a spot-market rate plus 3%. TradeWinds understands that Quadrolink, which is connected to Pacific Bulk, has taken two more capesizes from Golden Ocean — the 169,000-dwt Battersea and Golden Shui (both built 2009) — at identical terms in the past few weeks.
