TradeWinds: Greek owner DryDel opens Posidonia newbuild fest with triple order in Japan

Costas Delaportas' DryDel Shipping has fired the opening salvo in the wave of newbuildings 

that Greek shipowners love to announce around Posidonia time.

He is ordering "super eco" bulkers at three different Japanese yards.

Athens-based DryDel Shipping delivered the opening salvo in the newbuilding wave that Greek owners traditionally love to clinch, sign and announce around Posidonia time, which officially begins on 1 June.

The bulker specialist, led by Costas Delaportas, booked a fresh batch of vessels at various Japanese yards, which extends the company’s already impressive newbuilding programme by an additional three ships.
