Hong Kong’s family-owned shipping company Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings Limited has reported that Wah Kwong Ship Management has successfully taken over four multi-purpose vessels (MPVs) from the Bank of Communications Financial Leasing at Chengxi Shipyard.
“We sincerely thank the owner for entrusting us with the management of the vessels,” the shipowner noted in a short social media post.
The company said that it took over the MPVs between October and November 2024, and that it considers this move as a “significant step for entering into a new sector.”
The vessels are MV Jin Fu, MV Wang Fu, MV Hong Fu and MV Tai Fu.
According to Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings Limited, these 62,000-dwt multi-purpose vessels, each with four cranes, are well equipped for heavy-lift and versatile operations.
In addition, the 18 portable tween-deck pontoons also facilitate specialised cargo operations.
Few months ago, the shipowner reported that Wah Kwong Ship Management added to its management portfolio the ultramax bulk carrier MV BBG Nova.
The company took over the ship on September 15 in Lianyungang, China. This vessel, with a deadweight tonnage (dwt) of 63,000 tonnes, is engaged in worldwide trade.
For seven decades, Wah Kwong has been involved in global shipping. The shipowner owns and operates a diversified fleet of ships, in addition to offering a full range of technical and commercial management services to its customers and partners.
