Norwegian asset manager Ness, Risan & Partners (NRP) has joined forces with Germany's Briese Schiffahrt to add another bulker to its fleet.

NRP said the 37,100-dwt open-hatch handysize Interlink Levity (built 2014) has been jointly acquired.

The ship is fixed on a so-called "evergreen" or "eternity" charter to Germany's Oldendorff Carriers.
