Greek owner Primebulk Shipmanagement is doubling its money on a panamax bulker that it purchased two years ago.
European sale-and-purchase brokers said the 74,000-dwt Solana (built 2001) was sold to a Chinese buyer for $8.7m. The ship is due for dry docking.
Athens-based Primebulk bought the Hyundai Heavy Industries-built vessel from compatriot owner Carras Hellas in April 2016 for $4.3m
