Three more Japanese-controlled iron ore carriers are being touted for sale as the country’s owners seek to dispose of tonnage coming off charters to steel mills.
NS United is said to be listening to offers for the 230,000-dwt NSS Honesty (built 2007) and the 208,000-dwt Shin-ei (built 2008).
Both have come off charter to Nippon Steel Shipping, which operated them on the iron ore trade between Australia and Japan for its parent, Nippon Steel.
