Financing difficulties have led Greek owner Perosea Shipping to axe a pair of bulker newbuildings at Daesun Shipbuilding & Engineering.

The Piraeus-based outfit has also delayed delivery of three other units at the Korean yard and is understood to have negotiatied a reduced price.



Perosea booked a series of 34,000-dwt bulkers at Daesun in the first half of 2008, originally penning three firm contracts with two options.
