Hong Kong-listed bunkering and oil trading company NewOcean Energy Holdings Limited, through charterer subsidiary Baifuyang, on 2 November entered into a bareboat charter agreement with shipowner Link Harvest for a Marshall Island flagged VLCC.

The 2011-built 300,000 metric tonne (mt) capacity VLCC Astro Chorus (IMO 9235244) will be leased at the monthly rate of USD $290,000 for a term of 36 months commencing from 1 December 2018 to support NewOcean’s bunkering operations at Singapore.

NewOcean in the fourth quarter of 2017 commenced its bunkering business in Singapore and chartered a 100,000 mt floating storage in Malaysia as the procurement centre serving the Singapore Strait Region, Hong Kong and China.

“In the first half of this year, the oil product business in Singapore achieved a sales volume up to approximately 325,700 tones, successfully opening up a prime new market for the group,” it says.

“With a total market capacity in the Singapore Strait Region of 4 million tonnes oil products per month, the group’s long term objective is to substantially increase its market share in the region.

“To meet the growing logistic needs, in the past few months the group has actively searched for hire of a VLCC with storage capacity up to 300,000 metric tons.”

The bareboat charter agreement is on standard BIMCO (Baltic and International Maritime Council) terms.

Bursa Malaysia-listed Straits Energy Resources Berhad (Straits) on Monday (21 September) proposed to undertake a reduction of MYR 90 million (USD 22 million) of its issued share capital to offset accumulated losses of the company and strengthen its financial position.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said the proposed capital reduction entails the reduction of the issued share capital of Straits via the cancellation of the company’s paid-up share capital, which is substantially lost or unrepresented by available assets. 

The corresponding credit of MYR 90 million arising from the proposed exercise will be utilised to partially offset the accumulated losses while any balance credit will be credited to the capital reserve account which would serve as an additional credit buffer to set off future losses of the company.

The MYR 90 million was determined by the Board, after taking into consideration amongst others, the unaudited accumulated losses of the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2026 of MYR 101.91 million.

The proposal will not have any effect on the number or percentage of shares held by the substantial shareholders of the company as it does not involve any issuance, cancellation or transfer of shares held by the shareholders.

“Barring any unforeseen circumstances and subject to all required approvals being obtained, the proposed capital reduction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027,” the company added.
