Italian shipping company d’Amico Dry has started its strategy of dismissing aged dry bulk tonnage while taking delivery of newbuildings.
Several shipbrokers are reporting that the 199-built Medi Tokyo is being sold to Chinese buyers for $3.5m and there were no denials from the d’Amico group following a request on the matter sent from Splash yesterday.

The same company a few weeks ago was linked to the sale of the 13-years old Medi Nagasaki due to be bought by Greek interests.
