The sale-and-purchase market is rife with rumours that CarVal Investors of the US purchased the 176,400-dwt Shin Suruga (built 2002) for $34.5m.
Others, including brokers in the US and UK, believe the bulker may have been acquired by Asian interests that attended inspections in Qingdao late last month.
A spokesperson from CarVal’s headquarters in Hopkins, Minnesota would neither confirm nor deny the reports when contacted by TradeWinds Wednesday afternoon.
