Lauritzen Bulkers continues to dispose of modern handysize bulkers, selling a fifth unit in a little more than a month. 

The Hakodate-built Laura Bulker (built 2008) is understood to have gone to a Turkish buyer for some $7.5m.

Such a figure is largely in line with the four other units that the company has sold of late.

The Laura Bulker sale follows the departure of the 28,700-dwt Amine Bulker and  Sofie Bulker (both built 2007),  the 31,000-dwt  Maren Bulker (built 2008) and the 28,400-dwt Tenna Bulker (built 2005).
