Grindrod Shipping Extends Charter for Owned Tanker, Redelivers Chartered Bulker
Singapore-based ship owner and operator Grindrod Shipping Holdings has extended a charter agreement for one of its medium-range (MR) eco tankers and decided to return a chartered-in Supramax bulker.
As explained, the prevailing charter agreement for Grindrod s long-term bareboat chartered-out 2016-built tanker Matuku includes a fixed period ending May 2020, with extension options in favor of the charterer.
The company and the existing charterer of the 50,100 dwt Matuku have mutually agreed to extend the period of the existing bareboat charter for a further two years until May 2022 at an increased charter rate, Grindrod said.
What is more, the charter-in agreement for the long-term chartered-in 2015-built Japanese eco bulker, IVS Augusta, includes a fixed period ending March 2020. The contract has extension options covering a further two years at pre-determined charter rates and a purchase option on either the IVS Augusta or its sistership the IVS Pinehurst, which is also on charter to the Grindrod.
"We have elected to not exercise our right to extend the charter or exercise the purchase option on IVS Augusta. As a result, we expect the vessel to redeliver to her owners during the 1Q 2020. We retain the purchase option on the IVS Pinehurst," the company said.
Grindrod Shipping also informed it has acquired ordinary shares in the open market in addition to those detailed in the company s announcement earlier this month. Over the period from and including November 30, 2019, through and including December 11, 2019, a combined total of 66,398 ordinary shares has been acquired on NASDAQ and the JSE.
As a result, a combined total of 299,641 ordinary shares has been acquired on NASDAQ and the JSE over the period from the end of the second fiscal quarter through and including December 11, 2019.
Grindrod Shipping owns and operates a fleet of owned and chartered drybulk vessels and product tankers. The drybulk business, which operates under the brand Island View Shipping (IVS) includes a fleet of 17 Handysize drybulk carriers and 15 Supramax/Ultramax drybulk carriers on the water including IVS Augusta with two chartered-in Ultramax drybulk carriers under construction in Japan due be delivered in 2020.

Tanker Crew Abduction: Togolese Patrol Boat Makes Contact with M/V Duke
Following the attack by pirates on the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Duke off Lome, a Togolese naval patrol boat has made contact with the vessel, ship manager V.Ships Ship Management (India) confirmed.
On December 15, the oil/chemical tanker was boarded by six pirates who kidnapped twenty of the ship s twenty-one crew members. The 20 Indian seafarers were abducted, while one Nigerian cadet was left onboard.
As informed, a further tug with new sea-staff, including a Master, is proceeding to the 19,100 dwt Duke with a naval escort. They will resume command of the 2003-built ship which is owned by UK s Union Maritime.
"Owners and managers are working closely with all the appropriate authorities and specialists to secure the safe and speedy release of the crew members being held, this being the upmost priority," V. Ships said in a statement.
The company added that families of those kidnapped are being informed of the situation.
Described as "the largest kidnapping event in West Africa within 2019", the newest incident comes less than two weeks after nineteen crew members were kidnapped from the tanker Nave Constellation off Bonny Island, Nigeria.

EU Okays Maritime Transport Support Schemes in 5 Countries
The European Commission has approved five schemes to support maritime transport in Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Poland and Sweden.
As explained, the schemes encourage ship registration in Europe and contribute to the global competitiveness of the sector without unduly distorting competition.
Specifically, the commission decided to introduce a tonnage tax and seafarer scheme in Estonia, prolong a tonnage tax and seafarer scheme in Cyprus by ten years, introduce a new seafarer scheme in Poland, prolong and extend a seafarer scheme in Denmark, and prolong a seafarer scheme in Sweden.
Under the tonnage tax measure, shipping companies can apply to be taxed based on a notional profit or the tonnage they operate, instead of being taxed under the normal corporate tax system. This can reduce the overall level of taxes paid and increase their predictability for the companies. Under seafarer schemes, labor costs for seafarers employed on board vessels flying the flag of EU or European Economic Area (EEA) Member State may be partly or totally reduced.
As regards the tonnage tax schemes in Estonia and Cyprus, the European Commission found that the schemes comply with the rules limiting tonnage taxation to eligible activities and vessels. Furthermore, as regards taxation of dividends of shareholders, the commission found that both the Estonian and the Cypriot tonnage tax schemes ensure that shareholders in shipping companies are treated in the same way as shareholders in any other sector.
In addition, regarding the seafarer schemes in Estonia, Cyprus, Poland, Denmark and Sweden, the commission found that all five Member States have agreed to apply the benefits of their respective scheme to all vessels flying the flag of any EU or EEA Member State.
"The commission concluded that the schemes are in line with EU State aid rules, as they will contribute to the competitiveness of the EU maritime transport sector and encourage ship registration in Europe, while at the same time preserving Europe s high social, environmental and safety standards and ensuring a level playing field," the EC said in a statement.
"To be recognised by the European Commission for our fair and transparent tonnage tax system, which has already been applicable for ten years and is now extended for another ten years, demonstrates our commitment to the sustainable growth of European shipping and enables us to continue with our strategy for the sustainable growth of the sector in Cyprus and in Europe," Natasa Pilides, Cyprus Shipping Deputy Minister, commented in a separate statement.
"We are confident this prolonged system will assist in increasing the tonnage of our fleet as well as the breadth and sophistication of our cluster," Pilides added.

MOL Looking to Develop Zero Emission Pure Car Carrier
Japanese shipping major Mitsui O.S.K. Lines has teamed up with compatriot shipping solutions provider e5 Lab. Inc. to conduct a joint study of a hybrid pure car carrier equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell system and large-capacity batteries.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the companies aim to develop a zero-emission hydrogen hybrid PCC, which doesn t emit carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), or particulate matter (PM) while underway in coastal waters or in ports.
When navigating in the open sea, the hydrogen hybrid PCC s motor would be powered by an LNG-fueled generator and the large-capacity batteries, resulting in significantly lower emissions than current vessels equipped with diesel engines that run on heavy oil.
The duo will first conduct technological and business feasibility studies of the hydrogen hybrid PCC, and when they gain positive results, they will move on to the next phase of joint development for a practical of hydrogen hybrid PCC based on the results.
MOL has been working on eliminating emissions of vessels while in ports over the past ten years. Namely, in 2009 the company announced its future vision for the next-generation series "ISHIN-I" car carrier. In 2012, it launched the world s first hybrid car carrier, the Emerald Ace, which is equipped with the world s largest-scale solar power generation system and batteries.
"The hydrogen hybrid PCC concept marks a further step ahead from these past projects, and the company is pursuing the possibility of introducing more extensive and more advanced technologies with the goal of zero emissions," MOL said.
