Belships has entered into agreements for the sale of BELSTAR and BELNOR. The
58 000 dwt bulk carriers were built in 2009 and 2010, and are the oldest ships
in Belships' fleet.
Delivery is expected to occur between December 2021 and January 2022 and
Belships will realise a gain of approximately USD 5.1m in Q4 2021 and USD 5.9m
in Q1 2022. Total net cash flow after delivery of the vessels will be
approximately USD 24.5m after repayment of outstanding loans.
Belships has entered into agreement for a period time charter contract for one
of our vessels for a period of about 11-13 months at a gross rate of USD 25 000
per day. The contract is expected to commence within end December 2021.
The contract coverage for 2022 stands at about 50 per cent at an average rate of
USD 23 000 net per day per vessel meaning that the cash breakeven for remaining
open days is now well below zero.
"These transactions solidify Belships' position, with a strong balance sheet and
the most modern fleet within our segment. We will continue the strategic
approach to develop our company, with the aim of maximising returns for our
shareholders," said Belships CEO Lars Christian Skarsgård.
