Greece’s Diana Shipping has agreed to sell its 2010-built post-panamax bulker Alcmene for about $11.9m and secured a charter extension for one of its newcastlemaxes at a bumper rate. The New York-listed company said it will deliver the 93,193 dwt vessel to an undisclosed buyer by March 7. The Jiangsu New Yangzijiang-built unit, which Athens-based Diana acquired for about $40m in 2010, is estimated at $14m by online pricing platform VesselsValue. The ship is the oldest post-panamax in Diana’s fleet, which will count 37 bulkers once the deal is closed. The Semiramis Paliou-led company has also secured a charter extension deal with Singapore’s SwissMarine for the 2017-built newcastlemax San Francisco. The 208,006 dwt ship, currently earning $22,000 per day, will from February 27 deliver $26,000 per day until at least October 25, 2026, or about $15.55m in total, with options to extend up to December 25 of the same year. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsGreece
