Turkish bulker company Aruna Shipping has made its first move in the secondhand market since setting up shop in Istanbul a dozen years ago.
The low-profile outfit has agreed to spend $45m en bloc on a pair of supramax sisterships offered for sale by Greece’s Atlantic Bulk Carriers, ship-management sources said.
The vessels in question are the 57,400-dwt Desert Hope and Desert Peace (both built 2011), which were both built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD).
