Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, has acquired a 2016 built 61 000 DWT NACKS-61 ultramax dry bulk vessel constructed at Nantong COSCO Kawasaki Heavy Industries Engineering Co., Ltd. (NACKS).
The vessel is scheduled to be delivered to the company in November and will be renamed the M/V Stamford Eagle.
This is the first vessel acquisition for Eagle Bulk in more than six years. According to the company, this reflects the management's renewed commitment to invest in a high-quality fleet renewal and growth strategy within the supramax/ultramax segment.

The company transports a broad range of major and minor bulk cargoes, including but not limited to coal, grain, ore, pet coke, cement and fertilizer, along worldwide shipping routes.
