The bulk carrier "JIN MING 68," with a deadweight tonnage of 15,844, is set to be sold via an online public auction. The bidding process will take place on July 8th, 2026, from 10:00 to 10:30 Beijing time, on the platform www.shipbid.net. The vessel is currently registered in Ningbo, China, and is classified for domestic coastal navigation by the China Classification Society (CCS).
Key specifications of the "JIN MING 68" include a gross tonnage (GRT) of 9,692, a net tonnage (NRT) of 5,428, an overall length (LOA) of 146.30 meters, a molded breadth (MLB) of 21.00 meters, and a molded depth (MLD) of 11.20 meters.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this auction represents a potential opportunity for fleet expansion or asset acquisition, particularly for those involved in coastal shipping within China. The sale of a bulk carrier could influence regional capacity, although the impact on international freight rates is likely minimal given its domestic classification and coastal navigation area. Parties interested in dry bulk cargo movements or vessel chartering might monitor the outcome to gauge market sentiment for second-hand tonnage.
