Koch Shipping has continued to take in capesize bulkers on period contracts on a day that saw the Baltic Dry Index move above 1,000 points for the first time this year.
Koch, which TradeWinds reported in January to be amassing a vast chartered capesize fleet, has today added vessels from Diana Shipping and Sinotrans.
Diana’s 206,000-dwt Philadelphia (built 2012) has been chartered over an 11 to 13 month period at $15,600 per day, according to the Baltic Exchange.
