On 9 January, GoodBulk Ltd, an owner and operator of dry bulk vessels headquarted in Monaco, has taken delivery of the Aquaenna, a 2011 built capesize vessel of 175 975 DWT built by Jinhai, CHN.
The purchase, which is the first to deliver of six option capesize vessels acquired from funds managed by CarVal Investors on December 20, was financed with a combination of cash on hand, availability under existing credit facilities and the issuance of 240 494 new common shares to funds managed by CarVal. Following the share issue to CarVal, the company will have 17 463 541 outstanding common shares. The vessel is currently employed on an index-linked charter until the end of 1Q18.
