Bulker owner Grindrod Shipping has extended its ship sale campaign with an en-bloc deal for a pair of ultramaxes, according to market sources.

London brokers are featuring the 60,200-dwt IVS Bosch Hoek (built 2015) and 60,400-dwt IVS Hayakita (built 2016) among the latest sale-and-purchase transactions in the secondhand market.

The two Japanese-built vessels, which are among the oldest ultramaxes in the Grindrod fleet, are going to Greek interests for a combined $46.5m.
