Hoegh Autoliners has taken advantage of a bareboat charter purchase option to buy a modern car carrier on the cheap.
The Norwegian owner said it exercised its right to acquire the 8,500-ceu Hoegh Tracer (built 2016) for $53.2m.
The Ocean Yield-owned vessel was worth $82m at the end of June, according to an average of three brokers’ estimates.
