Rimorchiatori Riuniti appears to have struck a highly profitable deal to sell a kamsarmax that it bought a year ago.

European shipbrokers say the diversified Genoa shipowner has disposed of the 81,000-dwt Hampton Bay (built 2009) to an undisclosed buyer for $19.1m.

VesselsValue says the Universal Shipbuilding-constructed bulker is worth $17.5m, while MSI says $16.2m.

Rimorchiatori Riuniti paid only $14.5m
