Thenamaris has joined the list of major Greek shipping companies that have set up separate management and chartering arms for their dry bulk and boxship fleets.

The Athens-based outfit started last month to market its 19 bulkers and four containerships under the new name of Thenamaris Conbulk Inc. The move separates the vessels from the 67-strong Thenamaris fleet.

The step follows Thenamaris Conbulk’s formal registration with Greek authorities in May as a separate ship management entity.
