Greek dry bulk shipowner A.E. Nomikos Shipping Investments has placed an order for one 82,000 DWT Kamsarmax bulk carrier with Japan’s Oshima Shipbuilding. The contract price has not been disclosed, and delivery is expected in 2030.
This new vessel represents the latest step in A.E. Nomikos Shipping Investments’ ongoing fleet renewal program. Provisionally named “Leontari SB,” the ship has already been added to the Greek owner’s fleet list.
The decision to entrust this new shipbuilding project to Oshima Shipbuilding is a continuation of A.E. Nomikos Shipping Investments’ established shipbuilding strategy.
The four bulk carriers currently operated by the shipowner were all built by Japanese shipyards. These include the 82,553 DWT Astraea SB, delivered by Oshima Shipbuilding in 2009; the 60,990 DWT sister ships Filosofia SB and Attiki SB, both delivered by Japan Marine United (JMU) between 2014 and 2015; and the 55,685 DWT Alkyoni SB.
