Ark Shipping of Greece is selling its only vessel for scrap.

The 61,000-dwt bulker Stark (built 1984) has gone to India for some $2.4m.

Ark bought the ship as East Sunrise 28 for $9.3m in October 2010.

The sale means at least 30 panamax bulkers have been sold for scrap already this year, against 98 in the whole of 2015.
