Minsheng Financial Leasing (MSFL) has purchased a Japanese-built panamax as it continues its campaign to buy secondhand vessels.

The 76,600-dwt AOM Milena (built 2009), which is to be renamed Wisdom Diva, is the third Japanese-built panamax or kamsarmax that MSFL has bought in two months.

But unlike the two previous vessels, it will not join MSFL's fleet of owned vessels operated on time charters.
