Greek owner and operator of container and dry bulk vessels Navios Maritime Partners has inked an agreement to purchase two Panamax vessels for a total of US$27m.

The 75,000dwt vessels, which were built in 2007 by an undisclosed South Korean shipbuilder, are expected to be delivered to Navios Partners' owned fleet in June and July 2017, respectively.

Following this acquisition, Navios Partners will control a fleet of 33 vessels with a carrying capacity of over 3.4 million dwt.
