Greek owner Thenamaris continues buying spree with modern Kamsarmax bulker

The major Greek shipowner revealed on its website the addition of 2020-built, 81,479-dwt Kamsarmax bulk carrier Seaduty.

The vessel’s specifications match those of Aquavita Sea, which was reportedly sold earlier this year to undisclosed Greek interests for just over US$30M.

According to Allied Shipbroking, a five-year-old Kamsarmax is currently valued at around US$37M, reflecting a 12% increase over the past three months. Meanwhile, Xclusiv Shipbrokers reports that 28 Kamsarmax vessels changed hands in Q1 2026 at an average price of US$21M, with modern units (2018-2020 built) consistently fetching above US$30M.

Thenamaris last entered the secondhand dry bulk market as a buyer in late 2025, acquiring 2014-built Kamsarmax Ellina, formerly Nord Capella. The group has consistently offloaded older tonnage.

The Greek owner currently operates a fleet of 24 bulk carriers, according to information available on its website.

Nikolas Martinos has also been particularly active in the tanker and gas shipping segments, pursuing both newbuilding and secondhand opportunities. Riviera previously reported on Thenamaris’ entry into the very large ammonia carrier segment, alongside a newbuilding programme for two Suezmax tankers, both ordered in China.

Following its recent acquisitions, Thenamaris’ fleet has expanded to 95 vessels across tanker, bulk carrier, LNG/LPG carrier and container segments, including vessels under construction.
