Tomini Shipping has taken delivery of the fourth of the nine vessels it bought from Interlink Maritime Corp.
Interlink Veracity—a 2016 Chinese-built, 38,736 dwt handymax—has been renamed Tomini Kaimai.
The acquisition of Tomini Kaimai and the other vessels from Interlink will bring Tomini’s fleet to 26 ships with an average age of five years.
Numair Shaikh, CEO of Tomini Group, said: “We see a very positive supply side picture on the handies, with relatively few new builds on order, and an ageing profile of the existing fleet. This leads to greater recycling numbers due to incoming environmental regulations, meaning the fundamentals are very much in favour of a positive handysize segment.”
