Vietnam’s HTK Shipping has bought its first supramax from Kumiai Senpaku.

Quynh Duy Tran, HTK’s shipping and trading manager, told TradeWinds that the 58,600-dwt Neutrino (built 2012) will be delivered in October.

“We’re still looking to buy more supramax and ultramax vessels this year to expand our presence in these sectors,” Tran said.
