Taiwanese owner China Steel Express sells vintage capesize.

Taiwan's China Steel Express has sold its last vintage capesize for demolition. The 154,000-dwt China Steel Trader (built 1997) has been sold as is in Taiwan for $269 per ldt, or $6.1m. The sale means at least 37 capesize or larger bulkers are sold for scrap this year, against 96 in the whole of 2015.
