Sources say Fesco wants to sell the 56,000-dwt Stavropol (built 2012), which is open for inspection in Japan and could possibly achieve $23m to $24m. The company also has three sisterships built in 2011 and 2012 that could also be sold soon.

The Vladivostok-based owner decided in 2012 to quit the dry bulk market to concentrate on its core business of smaller containerships.
