Read Authentic Ratings for the Anglo-Cynosure

In a significant move in the maritime sector, Anglo International Shipping, a UK-based shipping company, has acquired the 98,000 dwt vessel Jo Jin Maru, constructed in 2012, for $20 million, according to insights from broking sources. The ship was sourced from Kambara Kisen, a trusted Japanese partner, who previously sold a similar vessel, a one-year-older sister ship, to Anglo International in August 2018 for an additional million. This latest acquisition underscores Anglo’s growing fleet and strategic relationships within the shipping industry.

A new charter arrangement has been reached involving the delivery of a vessel in Dalian. The ship is set to embark on a journey through East Australia before it is redelivered in India. This operation, which is expected to generate a daily rate of $6,400, highlights 'K' Line's commitment to optimizing maritime logistics and expanding its operational footprint in key trade routes.

In a significant maritime development, the 'Jo Jin Maru', a bulk carrier, was detained in Newcastle, Australia, on May 5, 2015, due to an outstanding unpaid bunker bill totaling $550,000. The Dubai-based company, Prima Marine FZE, initiated the arrest to recover $258,339 for bunker supplies delivered on March 9, 2015, in Fuzhou, China, alongside additional charges amounting to $291,661. The responsible party for the bunker purchase was identified as the sub-charterer SW Shipping Co Ltd, based in Seoul, South Korea. The vessel is owned by Japan's Tsuneishi Group and is currently on charter to the Norwegian shipping firm Klaveness. A warrant for the carrier's arrest was issued just a day prior, on May 4, underscoring the swift actions taken to address the financial dispute.
