4 VLOCs in Vale will be delivered to Shandong Shipping Alliance

On October 31, Shandong Shipping and Vale held a “Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement and Iron Ore Transportation Contract Signing Ceremony” in Qingdao. The two parties signed the "Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement" and the "Iron Ore Transportation Contract" with a contract value of more than 500 million US dollars. At the same time, Vale will hand over its four 400,000-tonne ore vessels, the world's largest, to the Shandong Shipping Alliance.

It is reported that the four VLOCs will lease the light to the Shandong Maritime Union, which is responsible for carrying the iron ore of the Vale. At the moment when the "big ship refuge to the port" has not been loosened, Shandong maritime transport will inevitably let the industry speculate. However, Shandong Shipping did not respond positively to this. The specific amount of chartering was not known, and the specific execution time of the contract was not disclosed.

According to the information provided by Shandong Shipping, Shandong Shipping Alliance was initiated by Shandong Shipping, covering four areas of marine transportation, ship management, maritime finance and asset management. In 2013, it has absorbed 1.9 million deadweight tons. The current members include a source enterprise represented by Vale, a financial enterprise represented by Minsheng Bank, and a number of well-known shipping companies. This is the second time that Shandong Shipping has signed a 10-year contract with BHP Billiton, the world's second-largest iron ore miner, and has once again joined hands with Vale, the world's largest iron ore trader. At present, the total capacity of Shandong sea-going vessels is 24 (including under construction), 4.05 million deadweight tons, the fleet size is the first in the province and the fifth in the country.
