Hyudai Fortune to be sold

[Charles McAllister]

Several reports indicate the owners of MV Hyundai Fortune want to sell the ship as is, hoping to find someone willing to take on the challenge of a major rebuild.  If I am correct, this occured after Hanjin Pennsylvania had a similar incident, and the new owners were able to have the work done for well under the original estimate.  Could be a bargain for someone.  Of course they need to be able to assume the risk that it might cost more than the estimate.  With the extreme heat and the stresses of several explosions, there could be damage unknown, even to experienced surveyors, until the hull is drydocked and cut open.

hi Charles,

Zodiak, London, bought the wreck of the Hanjin Pennsylvania. She is now trading as NORASIA BELLATRX,

There are rumours that Zodiak might be interested in Hyundai Fortune. Obviously rebuilding her is abt. 30% of what a newbuilding would cost presently.

Hi All,

First post on this forum so please forgive me if I am repeating what other people have already asked!
Does anybody have any more information regarding M/V Hyundai Fortune? The last I read (on this post) is that it has been bought, anybody got any recent pictures of her in her present location???

Cheers

Richy. ;-)
