COSCO ship in Singapore collision scrapped for over $6M

COSCO has sold a ship that was damaged in a collision in Singapore for demolition, fetching $6,484,140. Ship brokers told IHS Maritime that the 3,764teu ship sold at $341/lt ldt for break-up in China. The price is higher than the $310/lt ldt average price being offered for non-tankers, due to the large light displacement tonnage of the ship. The ship is of 19,000 ldt. In February, the Chinese state-owned shipping company called for tenders to buy the 1994-built Fei He for break-up. Fei He sustained damaged bunker tanks after colliding with the Cido Shipping-owned chemical tanker Lime Galaxy off Jurong Island on the evening of 29 January. No one was injured in the incident and the oil spill resulting from this collision is almost cleaned up. In a notice on its website, COSCO said it wanted to demolish Fei He as the ship sustained damage to its sixth and seventh ballast water tanks on the port side and its sixth bunker tank.
