A quick estimate: the median $/dwt of 59 similar-size, similar-age ships sold in the last 24 months, not re-timed to today's market. The full valuation blends several models over recent sales adjusted for size, age and market moves, so its consensus value can differ from this figure. Indicative, not a certified valuation.

Method: each call is a run of fixes inside a port’s geofence confirmed by a stop (or an AIS gap); load/discharge is the sign of the draught delta over the call. Indicative: arrivals before our AIS history began read from the first observation.

A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
