Norway's Arriva Shipping has made further progress on lowering its average fleet age with the addition of a vessel from Irish owner Arklow Shipping.
The company, which is controlled by the Matre family, said it agreed to buy the 7,600-dwt general cargoship Arklow Brook (built 2011) for an undisclosed price.
The Dutch-built vessel has the highest ice class rating, recently completed a classification society renewal and has installed a ballast water treatment system.
