Two Hong Kong-based shipowners are in the process of selling off bulkers ahead of upcoming dry-dockings and special surveys as sale-and-purchase activity in the lower size ranks remains busy.
Taylor Maritime has sold its 28,200-dwt bulker Lovely Klara (built 2002) to Vietnam’s Opec Petrol Transportation Co for a price reported to be in the low $4m range.
The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries-built ship was recently taken in by Opec and renamed Golden Leaf.
