C Management takes capesize exposure to three ships with Maran pair

Sources identify the buyer as C Maritime, the Cyprus-based owner behind the C Management platform. The company has taken the 2009-built C Antares and the 2008-built C Aurora, both Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding-built capesizes.   The vessels were previously trading as Maran Happiness and Maran Argonaut. They are now managed by Geneva-registered C Management, according to Equasis. Equasis lists the registered owners as Parcape IV TT1 and Parcape IV TT2, both at the same address as Norwegian shipbroking house Pareto, suggesting Norwegian brokers may have been involved in the deal.      The ships were among the older units in Maria Angelicoussis-controlled Maran Dry Management’s 35-strong capesize fleet, which has an average age of around 10 years.   C Management’s capesize footprint started with C Europe, which was previously reported sold into a Pareto-linked structure in December and is registered under Parcape III TT. The C Management name first surfaced in 2024 with a 2012-built ultramax.
