Taiwanese bulker owner Eddie Steamship has started buying ships again after a two-year wait with the opportunistic purchase of a modern handysize.
TradeWinds understands the company has picked up the 32,900-dwt New Sailing Star (built 2010) for a low $6.5m.
The vessel was built at China’s Zhejiang Zhenxing Shipbuilding and is due for survey. Published sources list it in the fleet of various owners, including Cosco Hunan, but TradeWinds understands this is incorrect.
