With bulker sales candidates now in abundance and the Baltic Dry Index once again below 1,000 points, you would expect most of the cards to be firmly dominated by bulk carrier buyers. Despite this, sufficient competition remains for modern ships to create a temporary floor under the values of newer ships, especially for larger sizes that are usually the first to benefit when a freight rate earnings recovery begins. Unfortunately, there appears to be little evidence of the long-predicted upturn, even though the Panamax sector has shown some firming and, by coincidence, sales in the sector have been predominant in sale and purchase reports this week. Shoei Kisen's 2007-built 76,588dwt FD Jacques Graubart (built at Imabari) has reportedly been sold for $18.5M. Surprisingly, that is exactly in line with the sale of Belmonte (built in 2007 at Universal) reported a couple of weeks ago.
