Champion Technology had bought the vessel in June 2019 for $4.2m.The company believes there is growing pressure to decarbonise which is impacting engine design and fuel choice as the vessel approaches 29 years old, and the disposal helps improve the financial position of the group.
Proceeds from the sale will be used for partial repayment of loan and general working capital of the group.
