Two expansion-minded Greek shipowners have emerged as buyers of two vessels sold by Scorpio Bulkers in March, at the height of the global coronavirus pandemic.

The biggest is the 81,200-dwt SBI Bolero (built 2015), which is believed to have fetched between $18.5m and $19m, and IHS Markit now lists as the Perseus in the fleet of Titan Maritime.

Managers at the Athens-based company did not respond to an emailed request to confirm or elaborate.
