ECSA: China and EU should lead on CO2 rules Communique from European shipping group cites US withdrawal from Paris accord. Trafigura's oil profit lower, but coal better Major charterer sees higher volumes in oil products, but arbitrage opportunities are still lacking. Four owners vying for SeaOne CGL carrier newbuildings Four shipowners have submitted bids for 12 pioneering gas carrier articulated tug barges (ATBs) that SeaOne is poised to order at Samsung Heavy Industries. SeaOne Holdings president Bruce Hall tells TradeWinds that a US company is the leading contender in the race to own the world's first compressed gas liquids (CGL) carriers, alongside two other US companies and one international outfit. He dec Fortress closes in on Heidmar deal Nearly a year after commencing a tender process and suffering a few false starts, it appears Connecticut-based pools power Heidmar is finally on the verge of selling the company. Expect US-based financial firm Fortress to emerge with full control of the company when the deal is announced near term, according to sources familiar with the process. The main change from last reports in March is that International Seaways mulled products sales before choosing finance scheme International Seaways considered a sell-off of its older products tankers as a liquidity boost before settling on a refinancing of its main credit facility, market sources said this week. The foreign-flag spin-off of Overseas Shipholding Group explored a sale of multiple products tankers of 2004 vintage, with other units possibly thrown in, but ultimately decided against the tack, according to pe Gener8 hires UBS for M&A advice as suitors line up Investment bank retained after Idan Ofer overture, but could have plenty more to do as takeover talk grows NRG Maritime acquires its first tanker A new Greek tanker outfit backed by a member of the wider Chandris clan is hitting its stride in Athens, buying its first vessel with an ambition to add more in the future. NRG Maritime has emerged as being behind the purchase of the 5,900-dwt chemical/products tanker Cansu D (built 2005). The Istanbul Shipyard-built tanker was reported sold last month for about $6.5m, by Turkey's Marinpet Petrol Astra doubles up in containers with first boxship addition in three years Greece's Astra Shipmanagement has made its first containership acquisition on the secondhand market since it was established nearly three years ago, over which time is has doubled the size of its fleet. The company revealed this week that it has incorporated the 1,700-teu Anassa (built 2006) into its fleet. The vessel's IMO number shows this is the HS Smetana, which a few brokers reported sold at Pappas to drop MR order plans at Hyundai Mipo Tanker outfit PST unlikely to follow up on LOI signed for up to four newbuildings at Korean yard Shanghai Shipyard wins mini-capesize bulker contract State-owned Shanghai Shipyard has secured up to three mini-capesize bulker newbuildings. The China State Shipbuilding Corp-controlled shipyard has been commissioned by Platano Eesti of Estonia to construct two firm 108,000-dwt newbuildings for delivery in 2019. The deal includes one option. The price-tag of the newbuildings has not been disclosed. Modern VLGCs fight for Panama slots in competition with boxships Canal's newer, higher tolls come as neo-panamax VLGC owners complain of tight capacity. Lack of arbitrage forces US Gulf cargo cancellations Seasonal slowdown has VLGC owners bracing themselves for a sticky summer Dalian Trawind takes fleet to six with another traditional panamax Dalian Trawind Shipping has bought a second traditional panamax boxship. The Chinese domestic operator has emerged as the buyer of the 3,739-teu Doukato (built 2002) from Nasdaq-listed Diana Containerships for around $6.1m, with delivery set for next month. Diana Containerships acquired the vessel in 2011 for $33m. Dalian Trawind bought its first vessel in this class, the 4,990-teu Xin Feng Shan 'It may cost taxpayers hundreds of millions' German politicians have expressed worry over the impact of the Rickmers insolvency. Norbert Hackbusch of the left-wing party Die Linke has voiced fears that it might cost the taxpayer "hundreds of millions of euros". His comments came with memories still fresh of HSH Nordbank's decision last year to write off €550m ($620m) of Norddeutsche Reederei H Schuldt debt. That caused an outcry in Hamburg Rickmers plan was never going to fly, says banker HSH Nordbank's decision to pull the plug on an outfit it has supported for years marks a big shift in German banks' relations with shipowners, finance sources say Digital forwarder claims solution to overcome costly no-shows CMA CGM is attempting to impose additional fees on shippers for costly late cancellations or "no-shows". On 1 June, the liner operator introduced a cancellation fee of $150 per teu on its service from Northern Europe to the Red Sea, Middle East and Indian subcontinent. But FreightHub, a Berlin digital freight forwarder for the Asia to Europe trades, is breaking with the system of imposing fines. Milaha Maritime set to be hit hard by Gulf crisis Local and international services face massive disruption as a result of neighbours cutting diplomatic and trade ties over accusations of emirate's support for terrorism Growing fleet confirms mutuality to be the best solution The fleet insured by the 13 International Group clubs has risen by nearly 4% over the past year to 1.15 billion gross tons - an increase of more than 50% over the past decade.

Skuld's overall "A" rating with a stable outlook is unchanged, although S&P views the Oslo-based insurer in a positive light. The ratings agency noted that Skuld had just reported its 14th consecutive year of underwriting profita Court gives green light to abandonment of Rena wreck Final judgment puts the cost of salvage work at a massive $650m Lifeline deal sees management and backers cash in Insider backers of Navig8 Product Tankers are pocketing a quick $8m profit on a $30m lifeline they extended to the company in December. The private-equity funds subscribed to a preferred-shares issue seven months ago with a proviso that a 20% premium "bonus" be added to the principal amount in the event of a change of control in the company. That change is exactly what is happening as New York-l Judge rejects Frontline's bid to put DHT and BW in check DHT says Marshall Islands court found 'no likelihood of success' in tanker giant's lawsuit. Swedish owner advocates green vessels at United Nations Terntank duo address UN on using LNG as a fuel and strong need for dedicated funds to share burden of green investment.

Sasco steps up ferry service to Japan Russian owner increasing sailings from Sakhalin island to Hokkaido. MPC adds three more boxships German company's Oslo spin-off continues to build up its fleet. MPC Container Ships adds another vessel MPC Container Ships has added another boxship to its fast expanding fleet. The Oslo-listed newcomer has reportedly acquired the Aker-built, 2,127-teu containership Conti Elektra (built 2007) for around $6.3m. It would be the fourteenth vessel acquired by MPC in under two months. In April, MPC raised around $100m via a private placement in Norway, where it is listed on the Merkur Market. T Maersk Line on neo-panamax fixing spree Maersk Line has launched a fixing spree in the neo-panamax boxship sector. The Danish operator has taken around eight vessels of 8,000 to 9,000-teu on short term fixtures at rates sharply down on last done. The tally includes four of the so-called Northern J-type neo-panamax vessels controlled by Norddeutsch Reederei H. Schuldt.
