Diligent Holdings has extended an impressive run of dry bulk acquisitions over the past three years with the purchase of a supramax bulker.

The Athens-based company purchased the 56,100-dwt Future Lily (built 2012) for about $15.2m, according to London brokers.

Diligent managers declined to comment, citing standard company policy not to discuss commercial matters.

The Future Lily would be the youngest ship in the Diligent fleet.
