J Lauritzen confirmed the sale of two supramax newbuildings as it reported a reduced loss for the second quarter.
TradeWinds reported last week that BW Dry Cargo had bought a 61,000-dwt Lauritzen newbuilding due for delivery from Dalian Cosco Kawasaki Shipbuilding (Dacks) in September. Raven Capital purchased the sistership in June for $18.75m.
It is not the only change to the Lauritzen orderbook in 2016, with two other newbuildings cancelled in the first quarter, a period which also saw a long-term charter ended.
