Greek owner Evalend is denying market rumours it has disposed of a three-year old handysize bulker.
Gossip has been swirling around brokers' offices that the Athens-based company was selling the 38,200-dwt Evangelia L (built 2015) to Middle-Eastern buyers for about $19m.
Kriton Lendoudis-led Evalend, however, told TradeWinds in an e-mail this was "a false rumour" and that the vessel wasn't even for sale at all.
Evalend acquired the Evangelia L more than three years ago as a resale deal from Bahamas-based bulker venture Agriculture & Energy Carriers (AEC), reportedly for $22m. The ship was then due to be delivered by Japan's Naikai Sedota yard as AEC Faith.
