Recently, Teekay entered into a partnership with CarVal Investors, a leading alternative investment manager, to invest and manage vessels for a new company in the dry bulk sector. Teekay will provide all operational and corporate management for the new company, which has a fleet of 16 modern dry bulk vessels (including 6 newbuildings). On September 23rd, the partnership welcomed two sister vessels in to the fleet at Nanjing Dongze Shipyard. The naming ceremony was held for the two Handysize dry bulk carriers, which were named Alpine and Summit. Among those present at the event were the vessel godmothers: Lada Bukharina (Teekay Corporation and godmother of Summit) and Nadya Wells (Cargill Ocean Transportation and godmother of Alpine). See the video above for a short taste of the naming ceremony.”
