SINGAPORE (June 5): Beng Kuang Marine’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PT Marina Shipping (PTMS), has agreed to sell four sets of its tugs and barges to Indonesian company PT Quanta Indonesia for a total of $6.3 million.

Currently, PTMS, which charters tugs and barges mainly in Indonesia, owns a fleet of vessels comprising eight tugs and six barges that are all flagged in Indonesia.

Beng Kuang was granted a waiver on April 10 from SGX, which allows the group to proceed with the sale of the four sets of tugs and barges without having to obtain shareholder approval.
