Chinese bulker owner Guangdong Renke Shipping plans to sell the only two bulkers in its fleet in order to deal with a debt crisis.

The company has commissioned Guangzhou Shipping Exchange to sell two 2009-built 35,400 dwt handysize bulkers, Ren Ke 1 and Ren Ke 2, en bloc via an auction on November 23.

The starting price for the two vessels in the auction is RMB110m ($16m).

Renke Shipping is the shipping unit of Jiangmen Xinhui Renke Power Group, and the company has been suffering a financial crisis since 2015 and since been involved in a series of debt disputes.
