Greece's AM Nomikos has flipped a pair of capesize bulkers it bought as part of its purchase of the former fleet of defunct MEP last year.

Market sources name Zodiac Maritime as the buyer of the 178,000-dwt Alexandria VII (built 2010) and the 178,000-dwt Rhodes VI (built 2010).

TradeWinds understands that a price in the region of $45m en bloc has been paid for the vessels.
