Oslo-listed Wilson has made its first foray into the 5,000-dwt bulker segment while selling an aged vessel.
The Bergen-based dry bulk player agreed to acquire the 5,000-dwt Lauren C (built 2007) and Nicole C (built 2008) from Carisbrooke Shipping with equity and debt financing.
Those open-hatch, single-decker units are the company’s first vessels of this size. Chief financial officer Stig Vangen said Wilson would consider more investments in this segment going forward.
