Seanergy Maritime Holdings has confirmed buying yet another secondhand capesize bulker, bringing its pureplay fleet to 17 vessels.

The Stamatis Tsantanis-led owner on Tuesday said it has purchased a 2010-built, 181,500-dwt vessel from "an unaffiliated third party" for $34.3m with cash on hand.

TradeWinds reported earlier this month that brokers in the US and Greece said China's Redwood Ocean Shipping (Rosco) is selling the 181,500-dwt Rosco Maple (built 2010) to Seanergy for $34.3m.
