Sallaum’s 2010-built SILVER SKY sold to UGR

Ro-roCyprus based Sallaum Lines is rapidly transitioning to a modern LNG-powered PCTC fleet with recent deliveries from China but it is also selling older PCTCs in its fleet, bringing a significant profit. The latest such transaction is the sale of the 2010-built SILVER SKY.

United Global Ro-Ro (UGR) is again the buyer, rapidly increasing its fleet of PCTCs to service the new vehicle logistics patterns evolving since the closure of Hormuz.

The use of Aqaba in Jordan has become key for UGR as well as the Egyptian port of Safaga as a transhipment centre for vehicles arriving from Hambantota in Sri Lanka, which has quickly become an important hub port for vehicles. The 47,090 GT SILVER SKY has already been renamed UGR IZMIR.

The 182.8 metre long by 31.5 metre beam PCTC was built by Xiamen Shipbuilding and has a capacity for 4,943 CEU. It is equipped with three liftable decks providing extra flexibility to transport ro-ro cargoes. It is understood that Sallaum were able to sell the vessel for considerably more than they paid for the vessel, purchased from Siem Shipping in December 2021.
