Greek tycoon Angelicoussis has taken the trio that Scorpio has under construction at a price of $44m each in what is presently a rare deal in the capesize sale and purchase market, sources tell TradeWinds.

The move extends a busy week for Angelicoussis after he added two VLCCs at DSME and continues Scorpio’s efforts to strengthen its balance sheet in the face of a continued market downturn.
