Emanuel Lauro’s Scorpio Bulkers continues to sell off bulkers at a rapid pace, announcing the sale of two Ultramaxes overnight.
The 2017-built pair “SBI Phoenix” and “SBI Samson” have been sold for around $34m, with VesselsValue data showing the buyer as Denmark’s Navigare Capital Partners. The vessels have been renamed “Navigare Beatus” and “Navigare Bellus”.
Since announcing a move into offshore wind, Scorpio has been offloading Kamsarmaxes with the sale of the 2015-built “SBI Conga ” for $18.4m, the “SBI Rock” for a little over $18m and the “SBI Sousta” for around $18.5m.
The sales will leave Scorpio with an operating fleet of 47 vessels, and a single wind turbine installation vessel on order at DSME with options for three more.
