Low-profile Greek player White Sea Navigation has been linked to the purchase of an eight-year-old supramax.

If confirmed, the acquisition of the 58,000-dwt Requiem (built 2010) for about $12.1m would be the company’s first foray into the secondhand market as a buyer in 12 years.

White Sea boss Captain John Kehagias was unavailable to comment on Greek broker reports linking the company to the Dayang Shipbuilding-constructed ship — a vessel that would fit White Sea’s fleet profile.
