Navios Maritime Partners is poised to potentially become the fourth Greek shipping company this month to sell its oldest bulker.
US brokers report that the New York-listed behemoth and owner of about 140 vessels is getting $9.2m from divesting the 76,600-dwt Navios Orbiter (built 2004) to undisclosed buyers.
The deal, which has yet to be officially confirmed, comes hot on the heels of a similar transaction in December, in which the Angeliki Frangou-led company sold the 75,700-dwt Navios Hyperion (renamed Hoanh Son Jupiter, built 2004) for about $9m to Vietnam’s Hoanh Son Group.
