An Italian court is trying again to sell the remaining tanker and bulker fleet of bankrupt owner Rizzo Bottiglieri De Carlini Armatori (RBD Armatori).

The first auction of 13 vessels failed in July.

Now receivers at the court of Torre Annunziata in southern Naples have scheduled another attempt for 22 February, when sealed bids will be opened.

A sales notice from the court says the six aframaxes, three capesizes and four post-panamax bulkers will be offered at a starting price of $190m, $10m less than last time.
