Scorpio Bulkers has cleared the halfway point in its effort to sell the entire dry fleet on the road to a future as a wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) operator.

The 27th sale of this year was announced on Thursday as Scorpio offloaded the 81,600-dwt SBI Zumba (built 2016) to unidentified buyers for about $20m.

The disposal will leave Scorpio with 26 bulkers in its fleet.
