  "account": "The Weekly Vessel Valuations Report for August 11, 2026 reveals a trend of increasing values in the maritime shipping industry. Midage Japanese-built Ultramax vessels saw a strengthening in buyer demand, leading to a firming of their values. Kamsarmax Royal Hope, a 81,000 DWT vessel from 2015, sold by Tokei Kisen for USD 30.8 mil, and VV Value USD 28.6 mil. Ultramax Amis Wisdom II, 61,600 DWT and built in 2010, was sold by Wisdom Marine Lines for USD 22 mil, with a VV Value of USD 19.8 mil. Supramax Agios Nektarios I, measuring 56,700 DWT and constructed in 2010 for Jiangsu Hantong HI, fetched USD 13.3 mil from Chinese buyers, with a VV Value of USD 13.6 mil. The Handysize Sakura Dream, measuring 38,200 DWT and built in 2013 by Imabari, was sold by Shunzan Kaiun for USD 18.5 mil, with a VV Value of USD 17.8 mil.\n\nIn the tanker segment, secondhand values remained broadly stable, although values in modern VLCC tonnage continued to rise. ADNOC L&S's recent spree of purchasing secondhand crude-carrying capacity contributed to a scarcity premium on owned capacity. VLCC Front Humber, 298,800 DWT built in 2017 by Hyundai Samho Heavy Ind, and Front Vefsna, 297,400 DWT built in 2017 by Hanjin Subic, were sold by Frontline to ADNOC Logistics and Services for USD 135 mil each, with VV Values of USD 133.4 mil and USD 134.4 mil respectively. Old second-hand sub panamax values saw a slight increase compared to the previous week, while modern tonnage and other subtypes remained relatively stable. Lastly, Feedermax A Ontake, a container vessel of 1,096 TEU built in September 2023 by Kyokuyo, was sold by Any Shipping to undisclosed buyers for USD 26.8 mil, with a VV Value of USD 27.2 mil.",
