Two important occasions, one unforgettable celebration in Japan for DryDel

Today, May 13, in Matsuyama, Japan, we proudly took delivery of the N/B M/V NOEMA, an outstanding 64,000 dwt Ultramax vessel built by Shin Kurushima Dockyard - one of Japan’s premier shipyards.

M/V NOEMA is a highly efficient, top-performing design, built with exceptional attention to every detail. A vessel ready to compete at the highest of standards in the dry bulk market.

This is DryDel 2nd N/B delivery for 2026, with another 2 N/B dry bulk vessels expected within the next month.

Over the last 2 years, DryDel has taken delivery of 10 Japanese-built N/Bs, bringing our fleet’s average age down to just 2.3 years. We believe this is among the lowest in the dry bulk industry worldwide.

This special day became even more memorable as we celebrated our CEO’s, Costas Delaportas, birthday during a wonderful event hosted by Shin Kurushima for the DryDel Shipping Team.

An emotional farewell followed shortly after, as M/V NOEMA departed for her maiden voyage!

A sincere thank you to everyone involved in this project — the Shin Kurushima teams, our people ashore & at sea & all partners who supported DryDel.
