Small-bulker giant Wilson has turned in a booming second-quarter result with its fleet of more than 100 owned vessels under 8,500 dwt.

The Bergen-based, Oslo-listed owner and operator is keen to use some of the money on fleet renewal in the form of secondhand purchases, but no newbuildings are on the horizon, chief financial officer Stig Vangen told TradeWinds.

“Last year was already a very good year and this year we are already almost at the same result level of full-year 2021,” he said.
