Interorient Shipmanagement has offloaded three modern handysize bulkers to Pioneer Marine.

The 36,000-dwt Orient Dispatch (built 2013), Orient Delivery (built 2012) and Orient Defender (built 2011) have been sold to the Oslo over-the-counter-listed company for $41m enbloc, US shipbroking sources said.

Neither Cyprus-based Interorient nor Pioneer Marine responded to requests for comment on the deal for the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard-constructed ships.
