Taiwan state-owned China Steel Express has pocketed a reported $35.5m from Greece’s Alberta Shipmanagment for two newcastlemax bulkers just over 15 years old.
The sale to the Nicholas Inglessis family-controlled company breaks the Taiwanese owner’s streak of selling its surplus tonnage into China through Taiwanese compatriot Eddie Steamship.
Broker reports and data provider VesselsValue reported that the 203,500-dwt sisterships China Steel Team (built 2006) and China Steel Entrepreneur (built 2007) have changed hands for $17.75m
