Nasdaq-listed bulker owner Castor Maritime has chartered out its latest acquisition for between 10 and 14 months.

The Cypriot company said last week it had bought a 2010-built, Japanese-constructed vessel for $13.68m, bringing its fleet to six ships.

TradeWinds understands this vessel is the 76,600-dwt panamax Faye (built 2010), sold by Soloi of Greece.
