Following the sale of the
Embiricos controlled VLCC DELOS (42,318 LDT) last week for a firm USD 435/LT
LDT, it was interesting to see another VLCC sold for similar levels as Meiji
shipping of Japan sold their T. M. HARMONY (37,833 LDT) for a very decent USD
436/LT LDT.
The deal actually has an option
for an 'as is' Sakai, Japan delivery with about 1,100 T bunkers ROB (just
sufficient for the voyage across) at USD 423/LT LDT. Should the deal be
declared 'as is', in Seller's option, the concerned cash buyer may decide to assess
the gas free status (vessel currently only gas free for man entry clean) before
deciding whether to clean and take to Bangladesh in a gas free for hot works
condition.
Petrobras of Brazil continued
their clearout of older tonnage with the sale of the MR tanker RODEIO (9,261
LDT) for USD 2.7 million 'as is where is' in Rio. Three parties had supposedly
accepted the counter before the deal was awarded to the successful bidder.
