The
Bangladeshi revival showed few signs of slowing this week with several more
high profile and high priced deals concluded at impressive numbers.
There
was demand for virtually every type of unit - including reefers with
non-ferrous - as end buyers really started to show their hand following months
of weakened activity post-opening.
The
timing of this most recent return to form could not have been better as chief
competitors India and China endured slumps of their own with the monsoon season
approaching.
Of
the deals that were done for the week, the Ukrainian built OKEAN type GOOD
UNION (13,630 LDT) was perhaps the most eye catching of the lot - fetching an
unprecedented USD 493/LT LDT for a dry unit The favorable size and country of
build (Ukrainian types are usually rich in non-ferrous) contributed to the high
price on show.
In
two other market deals, GEMADEPT of Vietnam sold two of their smaller container
types GREAT PRIDE (3,634 LDT) and STELLAR PACIFIC (3,632 LDT) for a price just
excess USD 482/LT LDT en bloc.
Finally/
US controlled SIBONEY BELLE was reportedly resold locally, after trading buyers
failed to lodge the deposit at a whopping USD 493/LT LDT. The relatively good
condition, bronze spare propeller blade and excess 250 Tons of ROB contributed
to the price
