UK-based shipowner Hadley Shipping is trimming its fleet by selling one of its four large bulkers.

European brokers said it has offloaded the 73,000-dwt Clymene (built 2006) to an undisclosed buyer for $7.5m. The Jiangnan-built vessel is due for special survey next month.

A ballast treatment system is understood to be included in the deal, but it has not yet been installed.
