The Sumitomo-built, 73,000-dwt sisters Ostende Max and Antwerp Max (both built 1998) have gone to an undisclosed buyer, probably Chinese, for $4.7m apiece, which is in line with expectations. The ships, which are not due for special survey until 2018, were acquired from Malaysia’s MISC in 2005 in an unreported deal.

Enterprises also has sold the CSBC-built, 46,000-dwt Force Ranger (built 1996) to an undisclosed buyer for $4m.
