Been several weeks since I reported on any of the brokers. Using Advanced Shipping & Trading this week. There was a significant fleet acquisition, but the broker only reported some of the vessels. - 10 dry bulk vessels sold. Except for a 2019-build, generally, post modern or the edge of modern (15 years or less) - 6 tankers sold, including 3 VLCCs. Yes, the VLCCs are scrubber fitted. But, ADNOC paid up for the vessels. - On the newbuild ordering end, lots of vessel orders went in. The big ordering entities were Cosco (16 bulker vessels) and Torm Plc (8 MR2 tankers). > **[ADVANCED-MARKET-REPORT-WEEK-32.pdf](https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ADVANCED-MARKET-REPORT-WEEK-32.pdf)** > > 976.20 KB As commented earlier, the broker only has a partial listing of this ADNOC transaction > **[ADNOC L&S Accelerates Fleet Expansion with USD 1.3 Billion Acquisition of 11...](https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/adnoc-ls-accelerates-fleet-expansion-with-usd-1-3-billion-acquisition-of-11-vessels/)** 11 vessels consisting of 6 VLCCs and 5 VLGCs. If the 3 VLCCs mentioned in the first link are among the VLCCs, I would say ADNOC paid a premier for each of the three.
