The big news for the week concerned
the sale of one VLCC at an extremely speculative number of USD 500 per LT LDT,
which is nearly USD 15 per LT LDT above the numbers on show last week.
The unit in question was the
Polembros controlled ATHENS WARRIOR (41,992 LDT), which follows the sale of at
least one other VLCC to Gadani buyers from cash buyer inventories in recent
weeks.
Certainly demand and pricing has been
picking up in Pakistan of late and for the right units (such as tankers gas
free for man entry only) Gadani buyers are perhaps top dogs right now.
Notwithstanding, news of the Indian
budget and the subsequent surge in levels there may yet see Pakistan prices
push on further (just to keep up with their sub continent neighbors) as many
end buyers remain keen to stock their yards once again.
