In 1983 George Th. Sigalas, in partnership with G.N.Tattos, started a new company named Trade Fortune Inc., acquiring three ships given funnel colours of black with a broad blue band between two narrow white bands.

The 1982 Shimizu built bulk carrier WIN, purchased in 2001, is seen approaching Langton lock, Liverpool, on 3rd March 2007 to load a cargo of scrap metal. A simplistic approach was then clearly being taken when choosing ship names!
