CDB Leasing and BG Shipping have combined to take on a pair of ultramax resales at Sainty Shipbuilding, brokers say.
The Chinese lessor is believed to have paid $23m for each of the 63,000-dwt vessels in a deal which would reflect stable asset values.
In turn, BG Shipping is reported to have chartered the ships from delivery this year.
Brokers point to the March purchase of a former Blue Planet Shipping ultramax by Eddie Steamship as the last comparable deal.
