Fresh from placing a landmark order for the world’s biggest cement carrier, Nova Marine Carriers has upped the ante in its fleet modernisation.
The Ticino, Switzerland-based company said it has sold a quartet of handysize bulkers built about a decade ago, replacing them with three larger, more modern Japanese-built handysizes it has agreed to acquire.
Chief executive Vincenzo Romeo said: “Especially for larger ships … the choice is for superior technological quality, guaranteed in this case by Japanese shipyards that specialised themselves in design and construction of this type of vessel during the last decades.”
