Sale & Purchase Market

摘要

There are a number of ships working firm at the moment, specifically within the Aframax and Handysize sectors and we expect to be able to report on these next week. In terms of concluded business, it is within the stainless steel chemical tanker market where we are currently seeing most activity, with a number of vessels being sold over recent weeks. The fully stainless steel (316L) "CHEMSTAR BRAVE" (about 19,884 dwt, built Kitanihon Zosen, 2003) has been committed at just in excess of $21m to MT Maritime Management Group. These same buyers also recently purchased the "GOLDEN FLORENCE" (about 19,705 dwt, built Fukuoka S.B. 2006, stainless steel) for $26.5m. Last week we reported the sale of the "GOLDEN DOMINIQUE" (about 23,322 dwt, built Kurinoura Dock 2006, stainless steel) to undisclosed buyers.
