Beks Ship Management and Trading has bought its third supramax in eight months, topping up a remarkable spending spree this year that also saw it break into tankers.
Managers at the Turkish company confirmed the acquisition of the 55,500-dwt supramax Antoine (built 2009).
The vessel fetched $19.15m, net of commissions, according to broking sources.
As with several other secondhand bulker deals lately, the price includes the balance of a time charter set at 97% of the Baltic Supramax Index (BSI), which will expire by February next year at the latest.
