Diana Shipping Inc. a global shipping company specialising in the ownership and bareboat charter-in of dry bulk vessels, has announced that through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, it has entered into a time charter contract with China Resource Chartering Pte. Ltd., for one of its Panamax dry bulk vessels.
NORDEN has announced the addition of two Capesize newbuilding leases with purchase options, which it says reinforces its commitment to building a highly efficient and modern Capesize fleet. This, NORDEN says, will enhance its ability to serve customers reliably and ensure we remain at the forefront of sustainable and cost-effective shipping against a backdrop of an ageing fleet and historic low orderbook.
The delivery of the vessel marks the halfway point in the company’s newbuilding programme as the sixth of a series of twelve 5400 dwt plug-in hybrid vessels.
Berge Bulk has successfully completed the world’s first retrofit installation of the Renk Integrated Front-end Power System (IFPS) shaft generator on its vessel, Berge Dachstein, a 208 718 dwt Newcastlemax.
