A whole range of offers on available tonnages have
been forthcoming from Bangladesh for some time now. Favored units will obtain a
premium whilst older dry vessels in poor condition will receive much lower
levels (now below 400) and provided there is any interest at all.
Indeed, it has become important to tailor vessels to
particular end buyer enquiries as some have declared themselves out of the
market altogether as they wait and watch market developments (perhaps fearing
further falls), whilst others are looking to equalize their recent high priced
purchases with vessels acquired at today's bargain rates (or even below).
However, despite talk of several larger LDT candidates
coming for sale in the first half of January, owners have yet to cash in on
their older units (even with rates on panamax and capesize bulkers as dire as
they are), and if supply continues to slow, end users may have no other choice
but to improve their numbers accordingly.
