Compared with previous years when Bangladeshi buyers were submerged by a
deluge of large LDT, high profile units, it has been a relatively quieter year
for Chittagong buyers.
Fewer favored capesize bulkers, VLCCs, and suezmax tankers (gas free for
hot works) have been available for sale. Many of the panamax containers have
likewise ended up heading to India, where buyers on the whole have been more
aggressive to acquire.
Similarly, Gadani buyers have led the year on larger LDT vessels, with
the majority of VLCCs and even panamax bulkers (almost 70 scrapped in total)
heading to Pakistan throughout the year.
However, with many capesize bulkers expected to hit the market due to the
oversized order-book next year, it may be a busy year to come for Bangladeshi
buyers once again.
