A Greek-controlled bulker that was the last vessel listed in the fleet of Piraeus-based Liberty Management is going under the hammer in China later this month.

The 53,500-dwt Polestar (built 2006) was arrested in October over unpaid seafarers’ wages and has since been docked at the port of Zhenjiang, TradeWinds has learned.

Wuhan Maritime Court is putting the Imabari-built vessel up for electronic auction on 26 February, after the Chinese New Year holidays.
