Greek bulker and tanker owner Neda Maritime has acheived a better-than-expected price for a Chinese-built capesize bulker.
Brokers said the firm had sold the 177,000-dwt Sonia (built 2009) to an undisclosed buyer for $26m.
The price is higher than attained by a larger, slightly newer vessel sold last week.
The 180,000-dwt Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co-constructed Shourong Harmony (built 2010) was offloaded for $25m.
