Pappadakis-family company Kassian Maritime has turned to its favourite yard, Japan’s Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding, to order yet another bulker.

According to brokers based in Athens, London and the US, Kassian ordered a single 87,000-dwt unit. The vessel, which is to be built to IMO Tier III standards, is said to be due for delivery in 2021.

Managers at Antonis and Virginia-led Kassian did not respond to a request for comment.
