Samudera takes delivery of second supramax

Samudera Shipping's subsidiary has taken delivery of a newly built 57,700 dwt Supramax from a shipyard in South Korea, the company announced Tuesday. The Indonesian firm's subsidiary Foremost Maritime took the last of the two supramaxes that the group contracted in early 2008. Sinar Kapuas will be deployed under timecharter and is on her maiden voyage for loading of cargo in China destined for discharge in India. Samudera took delivery of its first supramax Sinar Kutai on 21 March. The company believes the addition of two supramaxes will contribute positively to its business. Late last week in Singapore, Samudera took delivery of Sinar Solo, a 1,054 teu container vessel.
