Just a Few Fresh Contracts Marked Last Week

The market seems to be «out for lunch» for the time being with just a few fresh contracts hitting the headlines. Croatian yard Uljanik secured a pair of MR type product carriers from domestic owners. In another MR deal, d’Amico went to HMD Vietnam for two units for delivery in 2016 at a price reflecting close to 5 pct rebate compared with Korea.
