Yes I understand that about bulkers too.
Incidentally, the reason for changing from one flag to another on final scrap voyages relates to the sale agreement. It's standard practice for ships to be sold to a cash buyer who has the responsibility of delivering the vessel to the breakers. It's usually a contractual stipulation that the cash buyer changes the ship's name and flag prior to delivery.

correct,, and we facing the same problems with bulkers. Big corn movers don,t take bulkers when they are over 15 years old.

thanks info, They may take the money what they get for the scrapping and what they save now to use it as investment into the next ship. Ship financing is now much more difficult then before and banks request much higher money from the owners then years back. Putting a lot money into the next stage of life or build a new one with the latest technology and much more important with all the regulations adhered is a expensive matter and it comes with the new. Only new ballast water management systems can run easy to a million dollar per ship
