The specialized Handysize/ Handymax dry-bulk operating group has just

completed a deal for additional orders in Japan, adding to its growing

relationships with Japanese trading houses.



Western Bulk's latest order for two 42,000-dwt bulkers at Ishikawajima

Harima Heavy Industries (IHI) was concluded through Japanese trading

house Marubeni Corp, with which it has a long-standing relationship.



The company has worked with Western Bulk since the 1980s and Marubeni

tonnage is already included in the fleet of Western Bulk Carriers.
