A bulker that has been a long-time loiterer off Alang was sold as the High Court of Gujarat ordered a boxship seized, leaving the number of scrapping candidates under arrest off the Indian demolition hub unchanged this week.

The sale is that of the long-suffering 34,800-dwt Infinity (built 1985), a vessel handled by cash buyer Global Maritime Systems (GMS) that local sources say has been under arrest since October 2015.
