Koert Erhardt — who is suspected of playing a key role in the Star Bulk Carriers deal — is a behind-the-scenes fixer of long-standing repute in the dry bulk industry.
His relationship over two decades with the Zagari and Pappas families placed him in a pivotal role for Star Bulk's recent transaction to acquire 16 ships from Augustea Atlantica and York Capital Management, and adds to the list of high-profile deals on which Erhardt’s fingerprints can be found.
