Swiss bulker owner Suisse-Atlantique is selling two of its older ships to a Greek buyer.

Brokers in the US and in Europe said the Swiss bulker owner sold the 29,700-dwt Silvretta and Silvaplana (both built 2003) for some $14.3m enbloc.

The Shikoku Dockyard-built ships have seen their value roughly double since the depths of the dry-bulk market trough, with VesselsValue listing them worth as little as a combined $7.36m
