A public online bidding for the multipurpose vessel MV “ZJ2026-0043”, rated at 8,518 tonnes deadweight, will take place on 28 August 2026, the Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide report said.
The sale process has been entrusted to an agent by the transferor identified only as “the Sellers”, and the bid will be conducted on the online platform shipbid.net between 10:00 and 10:30 Beijing Time on that date, the report, published on 18 August 2026, stated.
The vessel is listed in the notice as an MPP with class notation CCS and a port of registry recorded as Pingtan. The seller’s summary specifies the vessel’s trading area as coastal.
Vessel particulars
The announcement gives a length overall of 120.80 metres, a moulded breadth of 17.38 metres and a moulded depth of 9.38 metres. Gross and net tonnages are reported as 5,723 GRT and 3,205 NRT respectively.
Deadweight is cited at 8,518 tonnes and the notice records a full‑load displacement of 12,050.20 tonnes at a 7.30 metre draft. Those figures form the principal carrying and displacement data included in the public tender documents.
Bidding logistics and timing
The online tender window is brief, running for thirty minutes on 28 August, and the announcement makes clear the sale will be processed through shipbid.net. No further steps, reserve figure or bidding conditions were included in the published summary supplied to the trade press.
The Hellenic Shipping News item presents the notice as an entrusted sale by the transferor, using the wording “the Sellers” to identify the party requesting the disposal. The announcement functions as the formal invitation to bid and contains technical particulars rather than commentary on valuation or commercial background.
Participants requiring access or further tender documentation would be expected to consult the bidding platform directly during the advertised period. The published notice does not set out post‑award procedures or timetable for delivery, and it contains no contact details beyond the platform and the basic vessel particulars.
The short listing on the trade wire concentrates on the ship’s identity and principal measurements, offering the maritime market the information commonly used to assess suitability for coastal multipurpose trades. The sale notice as relayed by Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide remains the operative source for the advertised online auction.
