The cargo ship Bet Scouter (IMO: 9050010) operating under the flag of Isle of Man, was sold for scrap at price of 12,100,000 USD. The vessel was property of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp, and operated as the part of the company’s fleet for 17 years. The cargo ship Bet Scouter was built in 1995 in the shipyard of Santierul Naval Constanta in Romania. The Capesize drybulk vessel has overall length of 296.00 meters, beam of 46.00 meters and maximum draft of 10.20 meters. The cargo ship Bet Scouter has deadweight of 172,173 DWT and gross tonnage of 90,312 GRT. The ship has 9 holds and large cargo capacity, but in the years of financial crisis the company Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp decided to sell it, instead of bankruptcy.
The shipowner felt into the financial crisis and got serious debt, due to decreased volume of transported cargo. The money, which will be received from the sale of the ship Bet Scouter, will be use for covering of some debts to creditors and banks. After the sale of the Capesize drybulk carrier, the Greek company’s fleet was reduced to three Panamax, ten Handysize, two Supramax and three Capesize dry bulk carriers. The rescue of the future actions for covering debts of the company are still unknown, but it is highly expected another ship from their fleet to be sold in recent months.
