Six geared handysize bulkers are circulating in the sale-and-purchase market by their Cyprus-based owners, Greek brokers have reported this week.

The vessels are the 37,000-dwt Western Aida, Western Boheme and Western Fedora (all built 2012), and the 37,400-dwt Western Carmen, Western Lucrezia and Western Tosca (all built 2013).

The ships have been with the same owners since they were built at South Korea's Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
