December 23, 2011 8:08 AM EST
TORM (Nasdaq: TRMD) has entered into an agreement to sell two Kamsarmax bulk newbuilding contracts.

The two vessels contracted in 2007 were scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 respectively. The agreement has a positive cash impact of USD 21 million in January 2012 and it will reduce the remaining CAPEX requirements by USD 42 million. The transaction leads to a P&L loss of approximately USD 41 million which will be recognised in the financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2011.

As a consequence, TORM revises its forecast for the full year 2011 from an expected loss before tax of USD 190-210 million to an expected loss before tax of approximately USD 230-250 million.
