Greek bulker player Gourdomichalis Maritime has revealed its first acquisition in the sale-and-purchase market in three years.

The Piraeus-based company bought the 58,700-dwt supramax Easter N (renamed Kavo Perdika, built 2013) from Japanese interests in January this year, at a price of about $15m. The ship has entered its fleet as the Kavo Perdika.

Delivery took place last week in Japan, where ship handovers are not marred by the usual Covid-19-related problems that currently dog such transactions in other parts of the world.
