Pacific Basin Bulk Shipping
Limited Buys Four Ships
Pacific Basin Bulk Shipping Lim- ited has acquired four secondhand handysize dry bulk carriers. This brings the total number of such ships acquired since its initial pub- lic offering in late September 1994 to 14, including the six ships which the company agreed to acquire in the early part of 1994. The com- pany now has 23 handysize dry bulk carriers with total tonnage of 583,106 dwt. The four vessels, pur- chased at a cost of $40 million, were built between 1983 and 1986. All four vessels are due to be delivered this month. The company is also negotiating for the sale of a number of the older ships in the fleet. Execu- tive Chairman Chris Buttery com- mented: "We believe that we now have the largest modern fleet of handysize vessels operating in the
Asia/Pacific region. Assembling a fleet of handysize ships of the right design, quality and age within the time frame we had set ourselves places us in a very strong position to provide our charterers with the ves- sels they require to benefit from this strengthening freight market. The delivery of the bulk carriers which we are having built in China will consolidate our position as one of the leading handysize operators in this region. Charter rates in our sector have continued to improve over re- cent months and this will be re- flected in our results for the six months to 31st December 1994."

According to the International Association of Independent Tanker
Owners (Intertanko), the tanker fleet has been reduced by approximately six million dwt, or two percent, in 1994, due to the overall scrapping of about 17 million dwt. The bulk of the reduction concentrates on tankers above 100,000 dwt. Pakistan led all nations in scrapping in 1994, disposing of 4.8 million dwt, of which only one was below 200,000 dwt.
The average age for all tankers scrapped was 23 years, compared to an average age of the whole existing tanker fleet of 13 years, a gradual decline since the first part of 1992 when it was 13.4 years.
