Zihni Shipping and Trading, a traditional Turkish company that celebrates its 90th anniversary this year, said on Thursday it managed to wrap up the sale of a 14-year old panamax bulker under what it called “challenging and difficult circumstances” amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The deal for the 76,900-dwt Bettys Beauty (built 2006) was concluded earlier this week, with the ship delivered in Yeosu, Korea.
