Norwegian mini-bulker specialist Wilson has added another vessel to its fleet.

The company said it has bought the 3,600-dwt Aveiro (built 2008) for EUR 3.475m ($4.05m).

It is expected to be taken over in the third quarter, when it will be renamed.

The current owner is listed as Folkmar Allena Vertom-Bojen of Germany.

The acquisition "underlines Wilson's long-term belief in the market," it said.
