Tan Binh’s appetite for more ships shows no sign of abating, with yet another two sourced from the secondhand market.

Brokers reported this week that the Vietnamese handysize bulker player has acquired the 33,700-dwt bulker Global Prosperity (built 2006) from Japan’s Katayama Kisen for $8.4m.

The Shin Kochi-built ship has recently been operated by NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers.

Tan Binh observers told Trade-Winds this week that the deal was in the process of being finalised.
