Gener8 Maritime looks at its recent sale of two 2016-built VLCCs for $81m each more as a one-off coup rather than as reflective of a rebound in tanker values.

The question was put to Gener8 chief executive Peter Georgiopoulos by Evercore ISI analyst Jonathan Chappell after Gener8 confirmed the two-unit sale, which was first reported by TradeWinds on 7 May.
