On a 100% basis, the sale of BW Loyalty is expected to generate a gain on disposal of approximately US$52 million.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery to the buyer upon completion of her current time charter, and no later than December 2026.

Key Terms

time charter technical

A time charter is an agreement where a ship owner rents out their vessel to a customer for a set period, during which the customer has control over the ship’s use and operation. This arrangement matters to investors because it provides a steady income stream for the ship owner and indicates ongoing demand for shipping services, reflecting the health of global trade and transportation markets.
