Last week, New York-listed Genco Shipping announced it was forfeiting $53m in deposits it had placed to buy six new vessels due to cost a total $530m. Hellenic Carriers, listed on London's junior Aim market, said it was forfeiting a $6.97m deposit and making a further $1m payment to abandon a $69.7m contract sealed in July to buy a dry bulk carrier. At the same time, Oslo-listed Golden Ocean told Lloyd's List, the shipping daily, it was reviewing its ship orders, although none had yet been cancelled.
上週，紐約上市的Genco航運公司就宣佈，放棄5300萬美元的押金，以支付解除訂購6艘新貨輪合同的罰金。這6艘貨輪的總價值爲5.3億美元。在倫敦創業板市場上市的Hellenic Carriers航運公司表示，它將用697萬美元的抵押金作爲罰金，並另外支付100萬美元，以解除7月份簽訂的購買一艘散裝貨輪價值6970萬美元的合同。與此同時，奧斯陸上市的Golden Ocean公司告訴航運日報《勞氏船級社》(Lloyd's List)，儘管還沒有解除任何合同，該公司目前正在重新審覈購船訂單。
