Norwegian asset manager Ness, Risan & Partners (NRP) has added to its owned fleet again in two deals with Germany's Briese Schiffahrts.

The company said it had acquired and taken delivery of a 37,300-dwt handysize bulker in cooperation with its partner.

The ship — the BBC Pluto (built 2010) — has started a 12-month, index-linked time charter.
