US-listed pure-play capesize company Seanergy Maritime has returned to the Chinese leasing market to finance its latest bulker acquisition.

Brokers report the Stamatis Tsantanis-led shipowner has sold the 181,400-dwt Iconship (built 2013) to Avic Leasing for an undisclosed price.

The company is said to have taken the Imabari-built vessel back on a five-year bareboat charter at an undisclosed fee, according to VesselsValue.
