GasLog sees US LNG pushing new charters Chief executive says wave of new US liquefaction will be key for customers to enter long-term contracts.

Grounded Diana bulker suffers damage to hull A Diana Shipping panamax bulker has been damaged after grounding in Indonesia. New York-listed Diana says the 76,400-dwt Melite (built 2004), which is on charter to Unipec Global Commodities, has been "temporarily disrupted" following the incident in Pulau Laut.

The $28.3m funding is being provided to Ultrabulk Singapore to cover two 38,000-dwt bulkers. Government-backed export funding is generally regarded as financially advantageous compared with commercial terms. Ul Third VLCC purchase in a year for Nathalin Thai tanker owner Nathalin has bought its third VLCC in the past 12 months, acquiring the 301,000-dwt Tsurusaki (built 2002) from NYK Line for an undisclosed sum.

Privately owned Bergshav Holding logged a pre-tax loss of NOK 14m ($1.8m) compared with a NOK 7m loss in 2015. The company typically fixes out its tankers on time charters.

The 180,000-cbm SK Audace, which is jointly owned by South Korean owner SK Shipping and Japanese trader Marubeni, was named last week at Samsung Heavy Industries and is scheduled to be delivered today.

According to data from Oslo's Eikland Energy and iGIS/LNG, the floating LNG (FLNG) production unit arrived at its designated site 475 kilometres (295 miles) northeast of Broome on Tuesday. The 600,000-tonne unit - the largest f Supply driver to prolong boxship market cascade More bigger ships set to be ordered due to industry commoditisation, forecasts MSI Arc7 owners debate ice trials with DSME Shipowners building the remaining 14 specialised Arc7 ice-breaking LNG carriers for Russia's commissioning Yamal LNG project are engaged in fresh talks with South Korean yard DSME over the ice trials planned for their vessels. Sources say the second Arc7 unit, Dynagas and partner Sinotrans' 172,600-cbm Boris Vilkitsky, is due to leave DSME's shipyard at the end of August if the owner requires the Asian buyers go on hunt for more bargain mid-size deals Seemingly unwanted since the introduction of larger tonnage on mainline routes, mid-sized panamax boxships are piquing the interest of players in Asia who are looking for a cost-effective way to scale up their regional tonnage capacity. Shell LNGBV poised for European debut An LNG bunker vessel (LNGBV) newbuilding contracted by Shell arrived in Europe early this week. As TradeWinds went to press, ship tracking data showed the 6,500-cbm Cardissa heading for its new home port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, where it will be based at the Gate LNG terminal. The Cardissa left STX Offshore & Shipbuilding's yard in South Korea in early June, slightly later than planned.

This perception, created by US investors chasing short-term gains, is actually preventing the markets recovering and the oil price from rising, he says. Kibsgaard expects "clear reductions" i More jack-ups back to work but on shorter contracts New work for offshore jack-ups appears to be picking up steam, although negotiations are taking longer and contract durations are getting shorter, according to analyst Rystad Energy. Contracting activity jumped by 35% in the first two quarters of 2017 above the first half of last year. Rystad says 58 contracts in the first six months of this year compares with 43 for the corresponding period in Saipem faces slump in offshore work Italian subsea contractor Saipem has trimmed its revenue guidance by 5% for the year because of limited new contracts in the offshore sector. The Milan-listed company says it won €2.08bn ($2.42bn) of contracts in the first half, compared with '3.3bn in the same 'period last year.

Analysts consulted by TradeWinds generally said they had not expected the ballast 'requirements to be much of a game-changer to begin with, so the delay should have minimal impact. Some observers have suggested that the relaxed time Mega containerships sail into Steamship Mutual Club Steamship Mutual seems to be developing a new speciality - mega-containerships - to add to an established position as a club of choice for many cruiseship owners. The club added the 21,413-teu OOCL Hong Kong (built 2017) to the portfolio of insured vessels earlier this year as the biggest boxship yet afloat was delivered from a South Korean shipyard.

Several years ago, the authorities overseeing Sydney Harbour thought they had a solution to the congestion when they built a new cruise terminal at White Bay. But many of the ships are too big to sail under Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Lomar confident of Kea Trader refloat in Pacific Greek owner Lomar Shipping believes it will be able to refloat the 2,194-teu containership Kea Trader (built 2017) despite what looks like a protracted salvage operation. The boxship, which was delivered this year, has already run aground on Durand Reef in the Pacific for more than two weeks as salvage company Ardent begins the job of removing fuel and lube oils.
