Been a few weeks since I last posted on this topic. Carriers released their latest report today (03/11/24).
- 17 bulker transactions this week.
- A fair mix of new and old tonnage. Recognizable names include a SB vessel and, I think, a SBLK vessel.
- 3 tanker transactions, including two 20 year old vessels,
- Great prices for the respective sellers, particularly the Aframax seller
- 4 newbuild orders, including a pair of LPG tankers for Exmar
Though BDI pulled back a little, overall, the segment seems strong for the time-frame. Tanker markets seem above-average
