China’s Hebei Ocean Shipping Co (Hosco) continues to clear out its large, elderly bulkers and has now sold the 244,000-dwt very large ore carrier (VLOC) Warrior (built 1990).

The vessel is said to have gone to Bangladesh at $432 per ldt, or $15.4m. The deal is said to include 450 tons of bunkers.

In February, Hosco disposed of the 148,000-dwt Hebei Genius (built 1990) for recycling.
