Martinos family company Thenamaris is about to conclude its first bulker purchase since late 2016, with a $64m en-bloc acquisition of a capesize quartet from China’s Greathorse International.

Several brokers in London, Athens and the US identified Thenamaris as the buyer of the 180,000-dwt Tiger Jiangsu (built 2010), as well as of the Tiger Guangdong, Tiger Shandong and Tiger Liaoning (all built 2011).
