Globus Maritime Limited entered into, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to purchase a 2011-built Kamsarmax vessel built by the Universal Shipbuilding Corporation, Japan.
The price for the vessel is $16.5 million if the ship is delivered on or before May 31, 2021 and $16.2 million if the ship is delivered between June 1, 2021 and August 15, 2021, with the date of delivery to be determined by the seller.
The vessel is expected to be delivered to Globus between April 1, 2021 and August 15, 2021, as determined by the seller. On completion of this acquisition, the fleet of Globus is expected to expand to seven dry bulk carriers with a total carrying capacity of 462,393 deadweight tons and a weighted average age of 11 years (as of February 18, 2021).
Athanasios (Thanos) Feidakis, President and CEO of Globus commented: “We are very pleased to announce yet another successful offering and to continue growing by expanding our fleet through what we believe to be worthy acquisitions.
We are continuing to view acquisition opportunities and as the market improves, we remain hopeful that there will be additional opportunities to acquire vessels that fit our profile and operational needs.”
