Rickmers Group is being linked with a rare move in the capesize bulker market.
Shipbrokers are pointing to the German shipowner as the buyer of the 180,000-dwt CPO America (built 2010).
A price of $24.5m is being placed on the Daewoo-Mangalia-built vessel, which was formerly controlled by Claus-Peter Offen.
Rickmers Reederei KG is best known for its involvement in the container business and does not presently own any bulk carriers, according to industry data bases.
