Pola Maritime in talks for more handysize newbuilds
Pola Maritime is in talks with China’s Qingshan Shipyard for another series of handysize bulkers having taken delivery of the last in the previous series it ordered.

Pola took delivery of the 37,500 dwt Pola Palekh on 15 September.

“Pola is now under negotiation with the shipyard to build another series of handysize units for delivery in 2016-2017,” the company said.

Latest delivery brings Pola’s fleet to 20 vessels. The company is planning to expand its fleet to 35 handysizes by the end 2015 through a mix of long term charters, secondhand buys and partnerships.
