The volume of sale-and-purchase transactions has been on the rise, shipbroker Golden Destiny said this week.
The Greek outfit reported that the 111 ships that changed hands in August represents a 2% rise on the prior month and a 11% jump on the same period a year ago.
Containerships posted the biggest leaps, with the 16 sales representing a 33% jump on and a 300% increase compared to August 2019.
