On Monday, 13 October, the naming ceremony for two newly built minibulkers, M/V Beltmar and M/V Bothniamar, was held at the Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industries shipyard near Shanghai.  Leen Ghesquière and Barbara Blackburne-Jonckers had the honour of serving as godmothers to M/V Beltmar and M/V Bothniamar, respectively.

These versatile coastal mini-bulkers are set to operate primarily in Northern Europe under time charter contracts after their delivery in November 2025 (M/V Beltmar) and January 2026 (M/V Bothniamar) and consequent repositioning from the Far East.

Lunasol Polaris was represented at the ceremony by Luc Synaeghel (CEO), Olivier Lenaerts and Martin Hauge.

We extend our sincere thanks to our partner BAAS Shipping and to the entire team at Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industries for their excellent cooperation and dedicated project follow-up.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to our investors for their continued trust and support.

We wish M/V Beltmar, M/V Bothniamar, and their crews safe and successful voyages ahead!
