| 30 Oct 2018 | Enblochttps://www.tradewindsnews.com/drycargo/1619165/wilson-buys-six-bulkers-from-stromberg Norwegian mini-bulker owner Wilson has taken control of six vessels it was chartering from compatriot Stromberg Group. It said it was paying a total price NOK 94m ($11.2m) for the ships. With mortgage debt assumed by Wilson, it will issue shares at NOK 23.72 each to settle the remaining NOK 39m. This will give Stromberg a 3.75% holding. Time charters for the bulkers began at the start of 2017. They appear to be the 2,500-dwt Tove and Berit and the 2,850-dwt Kine (all built 1996), the 2,500-dwt Nina and 2,600-dwt Kristin D (both built 1997) and the 2,600-dwt Anne (built 1995). "The acquisition of the vessels will ensure predictability and strengthen the company's earnings base," Wilson said. It added that the deal "underpins Wilson's long-term belief in the market." The fleet stands at 114 ships, of which 88 will be controlled by the company. Stromberg invests in shipping through Vaage Shipmanagement and other companies. | $11.2M | Wilson ASA |
