New York-listed Scorpio has secured $30.7m for the ship, which sources believe is firm in today’s market.
No buyer has been disclosed for the bulker that will be delivered in the first quarter of next year.
RS Platou Markets says the price for the SBI Salsa is 10% above present broker quotes for such tonnage.
The deal cuts Scorpio Bulkers orderbook to 71 vessels just a day after a series of capesizes were converted to products tankers and sold to sibling Scorpio Tankers.
