Polforce Shipping is eyeing the sale of two bulkers in its four-­vessel fleet but denies market reports that it has already agreed to shed one of them.

US brokers reported recently that the Greek shipowner had sold the 50,300-dwt Aliki P (built 2001) to an undisclosed buyer for $9.3m.

However, director Captain Eleftherios Polemis told TradeWinds the ship was still on the market and there was no agreement yet to divest it.
