China’s Beihai Maritime Court has sold the 2009-built 181,400dwt capesize bulker Five Stars Fujian at auction.

The vessel had been detained by the court since 2016 at the request of Five Stars Fujian Shipping’s creditor Bank of Communications due to debt dispute.

The vessel has been sold to an undisclosed buyer for a price of RMB170.6m ($24.8m), a bargain compared to the fair market value of $30m placed on the vessel by MSI.

Following the sale Five Stars Fujian Shipping’s fleet is down to just one ship, the 2010-built capesize bulker Five Stars Beijing.
