Greek shipowner Kassian Maritime Navigation is poised to lock in a profit by selling a 12-year-old capesize bulker purchased in 2016.

The company is calling for inspections by prospective buyers at the end of this month in South Korea of the 174,000-dwt Giant Slotta (built 2006).

Asked whether the company is looking to sell the vessel, Kassian director Antonis Papadakis said: “We are indeed.”
