The 2006-built vessel was inspected by over ten buyers with Japanese owner Sanzo Enterprise managing to net $12m from Meghna last week.Clarkson Research pointed out that 12 months ago Meghna took another Sanzo supramax, Fleet Phoenix, also built at Mitsui Shipbuilding in 2006, for just $8.8m.
Meghna Shipping is part of Meghna Group, a diverse conglomerate with other interests in commodities, food, aviation and real estate. In the current dry bulk cycle a number of Bangladesh owners have come to the fore, proving adept also at clever asset plays.
