ship sold?

[kangaroo111]

I have been most optimistic about this but the renaming of the ship is what got me.  Maybe that was part of the backroom deal but that's the most onimous part of that whole press release.  And the fact that NM didn't have a press release.

MDL Energy posted recently:

"Ocean Energy Ventures Pty Ltd (OEV), a subsidiary of the MDL Energy Pvt Ltd group of companies, together with Quippo Oil and Gas, is pleased to publicly announce the effectiveness of the contract for the acquisition Fujian Mawei newbuild hull MW301-1.

The contract was originally signed in Shanghai on 26th July 2018 and became effective on 3rd September 2018.

The vessel was originally ordered by Marine Assets Corporation against a 5 year contract with Nautilus Minerals. The vessel has now been re-dubbed ‘Amaya Explorer’

OEV’s dialogue for the charter of the vessel to Nautilus Minerals was terminated on 5th October 2018 and Nautilus have been instructed to remove all of their equipment off the vessel. OEV is now re-purposing the vessel."
