PROCEDURES FOR PURCHASING A SHIP
May 5, 2024

Purchasing a ship involves several important steps that need to be followed carefully. This guide outlines the procedures for purchasing a ship through AACASINO LTD.
Find a ship that meets your needs
- Provide the Reference No. from our website.
- AACASINO LTD can locate almost any ship to suit your needs, including those not currently listed.
Once you choose a ship to buy
- Authorize AACASINO to create a non-binding Offer to Purchase (LOI) for the ship owner.
- We will send you the draft LOI for approval and signature.
- Once we receive the signed LOI, we will forward it to the ship Owner/Seller for review.
After the LOI is presented and terms are agreed
- Arrange a visual inspection of the ship (a 4 to 6-hour tour).
- If you can't visit, consider a virtual tour via Zoom, FaceTime, or video.
- If you decide to proceed, a Purchase Contract (MOA) will be prepared by us or the Seller.
Purchase Contract details
- The MOA will outline all terms, conditions, and price.
- Includes details like required deposit, closing date, and cancellation terms.
- A deposit of 10% to 20% is typically due within 3 days of signing the MOA.
- Buyer has the right to conduct a ship survey at their expense.
- A survey report will be provided, and based on this, the Buyer and Seller will proceed to closing.
