Belships has made its first acquisition since completing a merger with Lighthouse through the purchase of a geared supramax bulker.
The Oslo-listed company said it had struck a deal for the 58,700-dwt vessel for a price of $13m from Wenaas Shipping of Norway.
While it did not disclose the identity of the vessel, it would appear to be Viola (built 2008), which is Wenaas’ last remaining wholly owned ship.
