Danish owner Norden has pulled back from the sale of two supramax bulkers after securing a stellar price for a pair of products tankers in the past week.

Norden, which has a strategy to boost sale-and-purchase (S&P) activity in today’s battered bulker market, had been seeking buyers for the 58,600-dwt Nord Express (built 2007) and 55,700-dwt Nord Maru (built 2006).
