John Fredriksen-controlled dry bulk company Golden Ocean Group is reportedly selling three of its elderly panamax bulkers.

Brokers in Greece reported that the company has sold two ice-class vessels to undisclosed buyers. The 75,000-dwt Golden Opportunity fetched $8.5m, while the 75,000-dwt Golden Saguenay (both built 2008) has changed hands for $9.2m.

Some reports indicated that a Greek buyer took the two ships in an en-bloc deal.
