Help
Please,
Does anyone know what VLCC have been targeted for conversion to VLOC (Very Large Ore Carriers).Various publications are talking of up to 60,but stress that the actual number will be far less when the time to convert comes about.
Below is a partial list I have made up from different sources.
Bright Artemis 1992 likely con VLOC Apr 2007Titan Taurus 1992 VLOC Apr 2007
Tataki 1993 VLOC May 2007
Eastern Fortune 1989 VLOC June 2007Ardeshir H Bhiwandiwall 1992 VLOC June 2007
Ruby iii 1990 VLOC June 2007
Sunrise 1993 VLOC Jul 2007
Okinoshima 1993 VLOC Jul 2007
Yahiko Maru 1991 May be conv Jul 2007
Sebu 1993 VLOC Jul 2007Shinyo Clipper 1992 Probable conv Aug 2007
Han Ei 1994 May be conv VLOC Aug 2007
Orpheaus Asia 1990 For Conv Aug 2007
Nuri 1992 May be for conv 2007
Yiomaral 1993 VLOC Sept 2007
Grand Lady 1991 VLOC Oct 2007
Agios Nikolaos iii 1991 VLOC Oct 2007
Front Duchess 1993 For Conversion Oct 2007
Crystal Beauty 1993 VLOC Nov 2007
Welsh Venture 1991 For Conversion Feb 2008
Diamond Hope 1995 For dry conv Feb 2008
Sunrise iv 1991 For Conversion Feb 2008
Grand King 1990 For Conversion Mar 2008
Grand Explorer 1990 For dry conv Mar 2008
Those in bold have been converted so far
I note that many of these VLCC seem to be still trading
Any Advances?
Also any info on what VLCC converted to FPSO have also been targeted
in the 2007/02008 year would be helpful.
Many Thanks,
Richard
