New York-listed Eagle Bulk Shipping has sold one older supramax and circulated two more for sale as it continues the process of overhauling its fleet.

The bulker owner has sold the 53,400-dwt Skua (built 2003) for $5.4m to unidentified Chinese interests, according to market sources.

Stamford-based Eagle Bulk also has placed two similar vessels — the 53,300-dwt Shrike (built 2003) and 50,200-dwt Osprey 1 (built 2002) — on the sales block, continuing a plan to sell older tonnage as bulkers approach dry-docking dates, sources said.
