Star Bulk Carriers is believed to have divested its 19th vessel in a string of opportunistic sales amid rising bulker values during the past year.
The New York-listed shipowner is said to have sold the 56,600-dwt Star Pyxis (built 2013) at a time when several supramax deals are emerging in the market.
There is increased buying interest in smaller bulker segments, as values have not appreciated as much as in the larger segments.
