Greece’s Bluepool has attracted new owners to its panamax dry bulk shipping pool as it set sights on further fleet expansion.
Cyprus-based Castor Maritime and Sea Tribute Shipmanagement in Piraeus have committed the 2004-built Magic P and the 2014-built Sea Dawn, respectively, bringing Bluepool’s fleet to 16 bulkers.
Athens-based Bluepool is led by ex-Noble head of panamax Aris Bachos, ex-GMI/M2M freight derivatives trader Nikolas Gavriilidis and ex-IFCHOR partner Kimon Angelopoulos.
“Now in our fourth year of operation, we have a strong track-record and are confident that we will keep delivering market beating returns to our pool participants,” said head of chartering Bachos.
The pool, which currently consists of ships built between 2004 and 2019, is set to add three more bulkers in the next months, the company said.
“Our fleet is very diverse in terms of designs and specifications, which allows us to employ each vessel in its best aligned trades, maximizing returns for all participants,” added Bachos.
