Greek company Soloi Inc is about to halve the size of its fleet after shedding a pair of supramaxes and circulating a panamax for sale, Athens-based brokers report.

Chinese interests are said to have picked up the company’s 57,100-dwt sisterships Maria and Lietta (both built 2010) for a total of $17.5m.

The move comes about three weeks after other Greek brokers said Soloi offered the 76,600-dwt panamax bulker Faye (built 2010) for sale.
