New York-based Genco Shipping & Trading has pulled off what it said is the first full crew change by a shipowner since March in Singapore and the first allowed under the nation's new Covid-19 regime.
The change aboard the 180,000-dwt capesize Genco Liberty (built 2016) was completed on Saturday, the New York-listed bulker owner told TradeWinds. The 19-man crew has been repatriated to India after many had been aboard the vessel for eight to 10 months.
