AM Nomikos has ended a seven-month acquisition hiatus on the sale-and-purchase market for bulkers, in a move indicative of how demand for secondhand tonnage is gathering pace among Greek owners.

AM Nomikos features the 58,600-dwt Cygnus Ocean (built 2013) on its website’s fleet list under its new name, Armonia. TradeWinds understands clients of the company took delivery of the ship last week after agreeing to buy it in March from Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp for about $12.5m.
