Dry cargo mammoth SwissMarine has sold a modern unit, fetching $45m for a ship it paid $50m for when ordered in Japan back in 2013. The sale of the one-year-old Choully, described as a firm price by brokers, was expected as the ship has been in the shop window for a few weeks.
The buyer of the ship is believed to be Greek player Seanergy Maritime.
Brokers anticipate more ship sales by SwissMarine in the coming months.
