Dry bulk shipowners order 20 Valemaxes

摘要

Five shipowners have ordered a combined 20 400,000dwt Vale- max vessels as part of long-term shipping deals with Brazilian iron ore producer Vale, shipbroker Intermodal said. The shipping deals will likely be structured as contracts of affreightment and, if they follow the same pattern as Vale’s previous deals, will involve each vessel shipping 16mn t/yr over 27 years.
