The vessels sold will be chartered back by Vale from Polaris Shipping under long term charter contracts.
“In addition to unlocking capital, the transaction preserves Vale's capacity of maritime transportation of iron ore, since the vessels will be available but without the ownership and operational risks,” Vale said.
The 300,000-dwt vessels were acquired in 2009/10 and converted from oil tankers into iron ore carriers.
