Two older vintage MRs have found buyers, one a double hull vessel, “AEGEAN
GLORY” (45,691 dwt, Built Hasihama 1992, DH, epoxy coated, coiled, 4 pumps,
B&W main engine) which has obtained US$ 7.6 million, the other with double
sides only, “CAPETAN COSTIS” (39,542 dwt, Built Onomichi 1989, DS, epoxy
coated, coiled, 3 pumps, B&W main engine) at US$ 4.5 million.
The few sales concluded comprise mainly handy size vessels and one Panamax the Indian-built “GOOD SEASON” (74,905 dwt, Built Cochin 1985, 87,654 cbm grain, Sulzer main engine). Such vessels rarely do well finding buyers on the international market; in this case Indian buyers have stepped up and are said to have agreed to pay US$ 10.5 million.

Only one vessel reported this week; “ITAL VERDE” (1,033 TEU, 14,265 dwt, Built Nobiskrug 1984, next ss 6/2014, cranes 2 x 40 tons, MAK main engine) has achieved US$ 2 million “as is” Taranto.
