Triton sheds bulker amid growing S&P talk in supramax sector

Triton Navigation, a Netherlands-based subsidiary of Japan's Sumitomo Corp, has sold its oldest supramax, brokers say. The Mitsui-built, 56,000-dwt Triton Seagull (built 2007) changed hands for $13.1m, according to the reports.

Brokers initially linked Greek companies Diligent Holdings and TST International to the deal. TradeWinds, however, has learned that neither company had anything to do with the vessel. The latest information is that the Triton Seagull has been committed to Far Eastern buyers instead.
