A dry bulk pool has expanded with additional Ultramax vessels entering commercial management, the pool operator announced.

Participating owners said pooling offers improved utilisation and access to a broader cargo book than individual operation.

The pool manager reported that the enlarged fleet allows more efficient triangulation between Atlantic and Pacific trades.

Further vessels are expected to join over the coming months, according to the announcement.
