Astra Shipmanagement, which was launched four years ago to manage bulkers and containerships, is taking its first steps in the tanker sector.
Two MR product carriers are joining Astra, established by brothers Aris and Stefanos Koropoulis of the Martinos shipping family.
Astra’s pivot towards tankers is further evidence of increasing Greek engagement in the sector, which has been plagued by falling freight rates and ship values in recent months.
