Elmar sells last bulker and exits market after 21 years

Greece’s Elmar Shipping has become the latest victim of the poor dry bulk market, closing its central Athens offices and selling its last remaining ship — ending a continuous presence of two decades in the shipping market. Greek buyers are said to have splashed out $3.2m for the 27,900-dwt Lion (built 2000), which cost Elmar $25m in 2010.
