Chartworld Shipping has been linked to the purchase of a kamsarmax bulker from Nisshin Shipping.
If a deal is confirmed, it will be the third kamsamax that the Lou Kollakis company has bought this year.
The Tsuneishi-built 81,000-dwt Epson Trader 2 (built 2009) has gone for $12.65m, which is in line with expectations.
TradeWinds reported this week that Chartworld is buying two former Hanjin ships, the 114,000-dwt New Times built bulkers N Buchanan (built 2011) and N Odessa (built 2012), paying $13m for each ship.
