Bergen-based bulker and tanker owner JL Mowinckels Rederi is set to conclude its second sale-and-purchase deal in two months.
Chief executive Geir Belsnes confirmed the Rongsheng-built, 75,000-dwt bulk carrier Goya (built 2008) has been put up for sale.
Goya is owned on a 50:50 basis with Norway's Wenaas Group. It is currently discharging at Gopalpur in India.
The vessels' owners have seen the value of the bulker soar this autumn.
In October, John Fredriksen’s Golden Ocean Group sold the sistership Golden Opportunity for $17.3m to Novamaris which renamed it Santa Maria.
The Goya is thought likely to fetch a similar sum.
In 2019, the two Norwegian partners sold a sister vessel, the Ogna (built 2008), for just $10.3m.
The two bulkers were purchased from John Fredriksen’s Golden Ocean Group as resales in 2007 for $45m each.
Tradition-rich Mowinckels was founded in 1898 by three-time Norwegian prime minister Johan Ludwig Mowinckel.
Last month it struck a deal with investor Harald Moraeus-Hanssen for two Japanese-built stainless steel tankers, which were both built in 2006
