unadvertised sale
See the additional context provided by the asker in the discussion entries. It means the agent approaches potential buyers direct rather than advertising the vessel publicly.

: Potential buyers can also take the initiative of contacting the agent if they have information, other than through advertising media of course, that the ship is for sale. At least that's the way it works in the real estate market in the NL.

: de enige hits op google voor unadvertised sale, is sale als in uitverkoop. meeste hits zijn dan ook van de supermarket.

I don't think Google hits are relevant here. It obviously doesn't mean "uitverkoop".

: The context says that the ships are "geplaatst op de website" - and then in discussion entry it is added that they are "not shown". That means that a sale of for instance "Oil tanker, 250.000 tons, running under Liberian flag for sale" is advertised.

Sorry, but this sounds like pure supposition to me. There is nothing in the rather vague and confusing context to suggest this. It says "Het schip zal dan niet zichtbaar zijn", not "de naam van het schip zal niet zichtbaar zijn".

sale without disclosure of the owners
I think "silent sale" does not fully match what is meant. Here it obiviously concerns the sale of ships, without initial publication of the owners, for obvious reasons.

: This doesn't quite cover it - it's not just the owners that aren't being disclosed, but the fact that the ship is for sale at all.//See the discussion entries.

That sounds a bit illogical Phil. How can you put a ship up for sale without mentioning its for sale?? Can you explain that one to me?

for sale by invitation only
Deze uitdrukking wordt voor allerlei producten gebruikt. Met deze uitdrukking kan je ook het woord for(sale) erbij houden zodat het geen 'sale' is want dat betekent uitverkoop, zie mijn reactie op unadvertised sale.
Discussion
Sorry, not the web-hosting company, but the company that owns the website. Certain buyers will express an interest in a certain type of vessel, and the company may have such a vessel available that is not publicly visible on the website, because its owners do not want to make public that they are selling it.
I hope this is a bit clearer.
De term wordt zover ik weet meer gebruikt bij de verkoop van woningen:
"Wat is “stille verkoop”?
Als u uw woning wilt verkopen kunt u kiezen voor een zogenaamde "stille verkoop". Dit houdt in dat er geen tuinbord of raambiljet komt en er niet met de woning wordt geadverteerd. Alleen via het kantoor of onze makelaar worden potentiële kopers op de hoogte gebracht. De verkoop van uw pand wordt op deze manier niet aan de grote klok gehangen. Wel dient u er rekening mee te houden dat dit veelal niet het resultaat geeft dat u ervan verwacht had."
