Capesize prices could be set for a further shot in the arm if rumours around a Dong A Tanker ship ring true.

The Korean owner has reportedly secured in excess of $32m for the 179,200-dwt Dong A Artemis (built 2012).

While the speculation has yet to be confirmed, shipbroking sources describe the quoted price as a very strong number.

VesselsValue presently has a price of $30.12m
