Greek operator Safe Bulkers has sold a six year-old panamax bulker to undisclosed buyers for US$33m. The 76,000 dwt vessel will stay with the company on the spot market until the end of the year, when it will be handed over to its new owners. CEO Polys Hajioannou said: "The sale of one of our older vessels for US$33m, excluding commissions to brokers, is consistent with our business strategy of operating a young, high quality fleet while taking advantage of attractive opportunities to make vessel sales and acquisitions." The company also confirmed the price of a capesize purchase announced earlier this month. The 177,000 dwt newbuilding, due for delivery next year, was bought for US$63m.
