Kondinave SA, a Greek shipping company led by former broker Alexis Kondilis, has emerged as the buyer of one of the last vessels in the owned fleet of Hong Kong-based Noble Group.

The 93,000-dwt post-panamax Ocean Sapphire (built 2012), which Noble confirmed it was selling last month to unidentified buyers for $12.8m as part of its restructuring efforts, has now emerged in Kondinave’s fleet under its new name, Melissus.
