Hong Kong’s Ocean Longevity has put two bulker newbuildings to work after an online delivery by video link.

The Kwai Sze Hoi-controlled dry bulk shipowner is now trading the 182,900-dwt capesize Ocean Dragon and 82,200-dwt kamsarmax Ocean Dream (both built 2020) despite two-month delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

But several hurdles had to be overcome to crew up and take delivery.
