We are thrilled to announce our official entry into the Capesize sector with the order of two sister vessels of 182,000 dwt from Namura Shipbuilding in Japan, scheduled for delivery within 2028.

This expansion provides DryDel with the following advantages:

– Top-performing, scrubber-fitted Capes

– Taking advantage of a historically low Cape orderbook

– Diversification into a larger-size drybulk sector

The successful realization of this project as a Joint Venture with our trusted Japanese partners highlights our long-lasting relationship and mutual support. The two Capes will be fully managed, both commercially & technically, by DryDel.

This milestone follows the successful delivery of 4 x 40K dwt vessels from Namura in 2024. Looking ahead, we are excited about our newbuilding program of 10 dry bulk vessels to be delivered over the next four years.
