RE PARANA IRON

_____

pls note that the barge is not fitted with hatch covers and attached find her description for your buyers’ evaluation.

Owners officially invite best outright offers for their consideration. Taking into consideration that all the cargo handling equipment and the electrical plant were installed new in 2013, as brokers only would try anything well excess her demo value to test Owners’ reaction.

The vessel is actually located near Rosario Port, Parana River, Argentina. A suitable alternative, should you have a firm buyer, would be to deliver the vessel at Montevideo Port. Therefore, the internal passage by the Parana River, in Argentinean internal waters, would be arranged by Owners. That way, prospective buyers won’t have to deal with the local authorities.

Please advise if of further interest.
