Chinese kamsarmax player Fujian Ocean Shipping is the likely buyer of an ageing brace of vessels offloaded by Navitas Compania Maritime — a publicity-shy Greek player that is reshuffling its fleet.

Navitas Compania is linked to the Manessis family, which owns Greek steelmaker Halyvourgia Ellados.

The Athens-based company is widely reported to have offloaded two of its oldest vessels to make space for younger ships it purchased earlier this year.
