Global Chartering Strengthens Fleet with Strategic Newbuilt and Secondhand Acquisition
03 December 2025 — Global Chartering, the partnership between ArcelorMittal and DryLog, is advancing its growth plans by adding a secondhand baby-capesize bulker to its fleet.
This purchase comes shortly after the company secured 2 x 2 newcastlemax bulk carrier orders from Chinese shipyards and continues negotiations for further baby-capesize and kamsarmax newbuildings.
Commenting on the move, Yannis Haramis, CEO of Global Chartering and vice chairman of DryLog, highlighted the strategic intent: “Integrating secondhand vessels alongside newbuilds enables us to respond faster to market demand, particularly in Asia.”
The acquisition reinforces Global Chartering’s confidence in the dry bulk sector and its commitment to delivering competitive freight solutions through a diversified fleet strategy.
