A remarkable change has been witnessed of late in the dry bulk market with demand ramping up significantly.
One owner testing the market is Taiwanese bulker owner, Hsin Chien Marine, who is determined to sell one of its capes at the third attempt.
Last month Splash reported that Hsin Chien’s 2008-built capesize, New Stage, was put up for sale for the second time, with five parties inspecting the ship and one owner bidding $15m. The ship was withdrawn from the market as the owners held firm on their $16m asking price for the 12-year-old Namura-built cape.
