STX says no cancellations by Safe
A foreign media reported Safe Bulkers has cancelled two Kamsarmax bulker newbuildings at South Korea’s STX Shipbuilding. But an STX official told Asiasis Friday that the report is groundless and the owner is just requesting delivery delays of the vessels. The two 81,000-dwt ships, which were ordered at a cost of $48.1m each, are due to be delivered in March and May 2010. The US-listed owner has already paid advance deposit of $7.2m per ship. Safe Bulkers has additional five ships on order including two capesize bulkers at China’s Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries. It also has two 92,000-dwt bulkers at South Korea’s Sungdong Shipbuilding and a 95,000-dwt bulker at an undisclosed Japanese shipbuilder. Safe Bulkers has also revealed that it has agreed to terminate the long-term charters on another three of its vessels. Japanese owner Daiichi has terminated its charter of the 82,300-dwt bulker Pedhoulas Trader (built 2007) seven months early. It has agreed to pay compensation of between $2.7m and $3.4m depending on the actual redelivery date which will be some time between 15 June and 15 July 2009. The charter was not contractually due to expire until November 2009 and would have generated over $5m in future time charter hire, net of commissions. Daiichi has also agreed to terminate the charter of the 76,000-dwt bulker Maria (built 2003) which was due to run until January 2011. It will pay compensation of between $15m-$16m depending on the redelivery dates. The full charter would have earned Safe Bulkers about $25m. Finally, Bunge has sort to terminate its charter of the 76,000-dwt bulker Katerina (built 2004) and will pay Safe Bulkers between $20.6m and $22.3m in compensation. It originally had the ship on charter until November next year in a fixture that would have created revenues of $30.8m for Safe Bulkers. On Thursday Safe Bulkers confirmed that it had already cut short the charter of two of its bulkers – the 76,000-dwt Efrossini (built 2003) and the Maritsa (built 2005) – in exchange for compensation of $29.7m.
