DECATUR II LTD

DECATUR II LTD is identified as the registered owner of the chemical/oil products tanker FEW BPS (IMO 9405538). Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd is identified as the vessel’s commercial and ISM manager; no reliable public information was found establishing that DECATUR II LTD operates a broader shipping business.

Fleet1 known vessel vessel(s)
Beneficial OwnerUnknown. No beneficial owner, parent company, or controlling-person information for DECATUR II LTD was identified in the available results.
SanctionsNo sanctions designation or enforcement action involving DECATUR II LTD was found in the available results. FEW BPS was reported as not sanctioned based on screening against multiple international sanctions watchlists, but this is not a substitute for current official-list screening. Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd was also reported as not found on international sanctions lists.

⚠ Red Flags

  • Single-purpose ownership structure is possible because DECATUR II LTD is publicly linked to one identified vessel, although no conclusion about shell status can be established from the available evidence.
  • The company uses a C/O address associated with Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd rather than a separately identified operating office.
  • Beneficial ownership and corporate-control information were not identified in the available results.

Fleet127 managed vessels reported by MagicPort; older reporting cited approximately 380 vessels.[3][4] vessel(s)
Beneficial OwnerUnknown. The available results identify COLUMBIA SHIPMANAGEMENT LTD as part of the Columbia Shipmanagement group but do not establish beneficial owners, shareholders, or a parent company.[3][5]

⚠ Red Flags

  • The Columbia House address is shared by multiple maritime companies and vessel-owning entities, which limits its value as evidence of independent physical operations.[2][6]
  • Public fleet figures differ materially by source and date: approximately 127 vessels in a current MagicPort profile versus approximately 380 vessels in older reporting.[3][4]
  • The available results do not independently verify the reported association between COLUMBIA SHIPMANAGEMENT LTD and FEW BPS.
