Monaco’s Scorpio Bulkers has announced the sale of a kamsarmax bulker, the second sold by the Emanuele Lauro led company in under a week.
Scorpio has sold the 2016-built SBI Sousta for around $18.5m, substantially less than the $19.36m value placed on the vessel by VesselsValue although Scorpio says the sale will save it around $1m in budgeted drydocking costs.

Speaking after last week’s sale, chairman and CEO Lauro, chairman said: “Last month we announced a new direction for Scorpio Bulkers – offshore wind as a sustainable business opportunity. This sale represents a step, one of the many deliberate steps we must take, in our transition.”
