Brokers say the 50,800-dwt Jin Hui and Jin An (both built 2000) have gone to an unknown buyer in an en bloc sale.

The move would appear to be a logical step in a renewal process.

Jinhui’s fleet of some 36 bulkers includes 26 supramaxes. In addition to the Jin Hui and Jin An, the company has four more ships built in 2000 — but none are older.
