Thoresen Thai Agencies has bolstered its dry bulk fleet with a supramax purchase on the secondhand market.
The Bangkok-based listed owner said in a filing it had acquired an unnamed 2012-built 56,104 dwt unit without disclosing further details.
S&P sources suggest the company snapped up Shunzan Kaiun’s Pacific Infinity for around $16.85m.
Thoresen last bought ships in late 2020, taking a pair of ultramaxes in Scorpio Bulkers’ transition to offshore wind vessels and establishment of Eneti, which later merged with BW Group-backed Cadeler.
Following the latest acquisition, Thoresen’s shipping arm in Singapore boasts a fleet of 25 owned supramax, and ultramax vessels with an average age of 16.78 years.
