A new pool with 26 multipurpose (MPP) and mini-bulkers has been formed by Peter Dohle Schiffahrts (PDS) and NovaAlgoma Short Sea Carriers (NASC).

The newly formed DNA Shipping will begin operations in October and stakes a claim to being the world’s largest mini-grabber pool.

Twelve vessels will be contributed by NASC, which will manage the mini-bulkers from its office in Lugano, Switzerland.
