NORDEN has expanded its fleet with strategic vessel transactions, including the sale of a Supramax and the acquisition of a Japanese-built Panamax. These moves highlight the company’s focus on aligning its fleet with market demands and operational efficiency, according to the report published by NORDEN.
The newly purchased Panamax, built in 2017, is an 85,000 dwt wide-beam vessel designed for high grain loading capacity while maintaining a shallow draft.
