AI Maritime Summary
Intelligent vessel analysis

The SEA SHARK is a bulk carrier with a deadweight tonnage of 26,536 tonnes and an overall length of 167.2 meters. Built in 1985, this vessel has reached the end of its operational life and is currently classified as scrapped.

Operations Insight
Commercial & operational analysis

The current AIS data indicates that the SEA SHARK is en route to ALANG with an estimated time of arrival on February 23, suggesting it is likely headed for scrapping or recycling. The draft is not specified, but given its status as a scrapped vessel, it might be operating with minimal cargo onboard or in ballast, typical of vessels being repositioned for dismantling.

Key Features
Notable vessel characteristics
Significant deadweight capacity of 26,536 tonnes, suitable for various bulk cargoes when operational.

Flagged under the Cook Islands, which may provide some regulatory advantages in terms of compliance and ownership flexibility.
Market Insights
Commercial market analysis

For brokers, the SEA SHARK's current status as a scrapped vessel limits its commercial utility. However, its potential repositioning to a recycling facility in ALANG may attract interest from buyers in the scrap market. The age of the vessel and its scrapped condition will significantly affect any charter or sale negotiations, with value primarily derived from scrap metal rather than operational capacity.

Technical Analysis
Engineering & specifications

The SEA SHARK's specifications, including a gross tonnage of 15,786 and a draft of 9.541 meters, indicate its suitability for bulk operations in various ports. However, as a vessel that has been declared scrapped, it no longer holds relevance for active chartering decisions. Brokers should note that its propulsion type and fuel consumption metrics are irrelevant at this stage, considering the vessel's operational status.
