In a further sign of robust sentiment in the dry bulk sector, Athens-based Erasmus Shipinvest confirmed on Monday it has acquired a 15-year-old kamsarmax, waiving physical inspection.

Just seven workdays passed between a memorandum of agreement was signed for the 82,500-dwt Navios Prosperity (built 2007) and Erasmus management company Glory Ships taking over the vessel.

This was a new record for the company, Glory Ships said in a social media post on LinkedIn.
