Eships, the shipping arm of liquid logistics giant Tristar Group, is hungry for more bulkers after strengthening its now three-ship dry fleet.

Speaking to TradeWinds, chief executive Chris Peters confirmed the company had acquired the 56,800-dwt Gh Phar Lap and Gh Secretariat (both built 2012) from Great Harvest Maeta Group in September, in what was Eships' second dry bulk sale-and-purchase deal under new ownership.
