The newbuild ordering side is quite interesting this week. But let me start with the second hand market
- 9 bulker transaction, including 1 resale
- A pair of Maran Capesize sales in the mix, above avg price
- 9 tankers sold
- Scorpio (STNG) with an enbloc sale of 4 LR2s for above $285M. $71+ for 10 - 11 yo vessels is really good.
- 16 dry builds ordered by a variety of owners, including Seanergy (SEA) and Seaspan
- 29 tanker orders + 4 options from a variety of owners
- Somewhat interesting HMM (a Korean entity with shipbuilding capabilities ordering vessels from a Chinese shipyard
- On the Dynacom order, is that a second newbuild ordering round?
- Scorpio (STNG) with a pair of MR2 newbuilds. Of some interest, STNG opting for a Chinese yard
- 6 + 4 order on the container side
- 1 LNG newbuild from Knutsen + 8 new VLGC order from BWLP
