Iolcos Returns to Newbuilding Market with Kamsarmax Pair in China, Adding Dry Bulk Capacity

Greek dry bulk owner Iolcos Hellenic Maritime Enterprises has placed an order for two 82,000 dwt kamsarmax bulk carriers at New Dayang Shipbuilding in China, with delivery scheduled for 2029. The order marks Iolcos' first newbuilding move since 2021 and adds to a wave of Greek newbuilding activity in the kamsarmax segment. The vessels will expand the company's current fleet of about 18 dry bulk vessels and provide additional capacity on major dry bulk trade lanes.
