Nasdaq-listed Greek dry bulk owner Globus Maritime has continued the sell-off of older vessels as it makes room for fresh tonnage to join the fleet.
The Athens-based firm is shipping out the 2007-built supramax River Globe for $8.55m before commissions.
The 53,627 dwt vessel is the oldest in Globus’ fleet and should change ownership in March or April.
Globus has been on a fleet renewal drive for a few years with older bulkers exiting the fleet that currently stands at 10 vessels.
Last year, the Athanasios Feidakis-led outfit offloaded its oldest ship at the time, the 2005-built panamax Moon Globe for $11.5m, while adding a pair of kamsarmaxes Eolos G and Eolos Angel, built in 2014 and 2016 and renamed GLBS Gigi and GLBS Angel, respectively.
The company also took delivery of three ultramax newbuilds in 2024, with others in the series scheduled to join the fleet likely by the end of 2026.
