Diversified Greek owner Alberta Shipmanagement is increasingly concentrating its acquisition firepower on bigger bulkers in the kamsarmax and capesize range, buying its third such vessel this year.
Greek market sources and London-based brokers have tied the Athens-based company to a $25m deal for Nissen Kaiun’s Japanese-built 119,600-dwt Kitaura (built 2012).
The scrubber-fitted, Sanoyas-built bulker is the first “baby-cape” to join Inglessis family-owned Alberta’s mixed fleet of bulkers and tankers.
