Mr. Fotis Mourikis, the company’s director-head of business development, served as the godfather during the naming ceremony.
“Proudly built at Namura Shipbuilding Co Ltd (Imari Shipyard), its efficiency showcases the unmatched quality of Japanese engineering,” the shipowner said in a social media post.

In December, the Greek company reported that it is moving into the capesize sector through a newbuilding deal with a shipyard in Japan. DryDel Shipping shared a photo in the social media of the signing of the order of two 182,000-dwt sister vessels from Namura Shipbuilding in Japan, scheduled for delivery within 2028.
The Greek shipowner didn’t disclose any financial details about the order, but it said that the new project is a joint venture with its “trusted Japanese partners”.
The two scrubber-fitted capes will be fully managed both commercially and technically by DryDel.
