Denmark's Clipper Group has been linked to the sale of a 14-year-old bulker.

The 28,400-dwt Clipper Lasco (built 2004) is said by brokers to have gone to Vietnamese interests for $6.8m.

The company told TradeWinds it does not comment on market rumours.

The Imabari-built vessel remains in its website fleet list and is currently operating in Europe.

In October, the owner sold 16 ships as part of a refinancing deal with lenders.

The company told TradeWinds that the disposals included its last four multipurpose carriers and certain bulkers.

And in January, Asia Energy Logistics acquired two handysize bulkers from Clipper Group for $20.6m.

The Hong Kong-listed company said it had agreed to acquire the 32,000-dwt Clipper Selo and Clipper Panorama (both built 2011).
