Ocean Yield has wasted little time in increasing its exposure to the dry bulk market with a deal with the Carlyle Group-backed Interlink Maritime.
The Oslo-listed leasing company is to acquire five modern handysize bulkers with 10-year charters in a deal worth around $75m.
Ocean Yield said one vessel will be delivered from the shipyard in April 2018, while three of the vessels are built in 2015 and one in 2014.
