If one just wants straight data, shipping broker Seasure, usually has the cleanest report (Sales, charter by vessel category)
Notable items:
-
of dry bulk transactions
-
of tanker transactions (Maran’s VLCC sale particularly impressive)
- Afra tanker charter: above avg for 18 mos
- Both LNG charters impressive - lower rate is prob the Sept deal, and the higher one an Oct deal
Two deals involving companies I own- GNK, NMM each selling a Supramax. GNK has a few older Supras, so the event is a little surprising. NMM sale- year 15, so they could be selling before a dry dock
