Brokers reported the Sumitomo-built ship as sold for $6.5m to undisclosed buyers last week. Some linked little-known Greek owner Skyjet Shipping and its holding company, Blueshell, to the business.
However, a Skyjet official contacted by TradeWinds denies the company has bought the vessel and Laeisz says it has not been sold.
“Presently, the Piro remains uncommitted and we do not comment on ongoing negotiations,” Laeisz told TradeWinds in an e-mail.
