US dry bulk owner and operator Eagle bulk has confirmed the sale of 2002-built Supramax Goldeneye for $5m.

Various brokers reported the sale last month, however the buyer has yet to be revealed. The vessel was sold ahead of its statutory dry dock and is expected to be delivered during the third quarter.

The sale will leave Eagle Bulk with a fleet of 49 bulkers, made up of 20 Ultramaxes and 29 Supramaxes.
