Hong Kong-listed Seacon Shipping has offloaded one of its supramax bulk carriers， netting a profit of more than $6m from the deal with an Indonesian buyer.

The Qingdao-based diversified owner and operator has agreed a $13.8m sale of the 2010-built Seacon Yantai to PT Primatama Energi Mandiri.

The 57，000 dwt Cosco Zhoushan-built vessel should change hands by October 15， delivering a net gain of $6.5m， the company said in a filing， adding that it would use the proceeds to finance potential acquisition of vessels and as general working capital.

Records show the ship has been under a bareboat deal with Bank of Communications Financial Leasing， with purchase options attached.

Earlier this month， the company sealed a sale and leaseback deal with Bank of Jiangsu-controlled Suyin Financial Leasing for a pair of handysize bulk carriers under construction in Japan.
