Bulker specialist M/Maritime is now in full control of all 18 ships in its fleet, following the acquisition of the last vessel it did not already own.

The Athens-based company, which is backed by Greek entrepreneur John Mytilineos, announced on its website that it has gained “full management” of the 37,700-dwt Amber Star (built 2017) after the end of the ship’s five-year charter-in agreement with its previous Japanese owners.
