Diligent Holdings has purchased yet another supramax bulker, reaffirming its status as one of the most rapidly growing companies in Greek shipping.

The Athens-based outfit has emerged as owner of the 58,700-dwt supramax Bulk Pegasus (built 2009), a vessel reported sold in early June to unidentified Greeks.

Brokers said at the time the ship cost between $13m and $13.3m but TradeWinds understands it was purchased at a much lower price of $12.35m.
