Contracting – Sale & Purchase
With a more optimistic outlook, investment projects are
maturing for most types of vessels, with a particular come-back for bulk
carriers. The four LNG-carriers for Bergesen must be the largest newbuilding
order by Scandinavian owners for decades, secured by long-term contracts
to Nigeria LNG. Even a Suezmax tanker was ordered against long-term employment,
and Tärntank takes its third chemical tanker from China. Amongst
the more unusual is a ro/ro-vessel designed for aircraft sections for
Airbus, to be built for a French-Norwegian venture under French flag.
 The
second-hand market also reflects a wide variety of vessels, with the sale
of Aalborg Portland fleet of cement vessels including a large CoA to Tordenskjold
as the highlight. Bergesen finally picked up Wilhelmsen’s last VLCC
(or rather VLOO) Tijuca.
