Jiangsu Eastern Shipbuilding (JES) has signed a deal with SwissMarine to sell two 79,800 dwt panamax bulk carriers for a total sum of $44 million.
The two bulkers were ordered by Croatian owner Atlantska Plovidba in 2008 at a price of $45m per vessel, reports SinoShip.
The order, originally placed with JEHI, was for a total of four Panamax vessels. Atlantska Plovidba in July cancelled the order for the last two units as the shipyard failed to deliver the vessels on time.
