Lundqvist Rederierna has sold a second 1990s-built aframax, which is expected to be recycled.

Demolition brokers say the 99,000-dwt Alfa Britannia (built 1998) will be scrapped in India.

Shipowner Ben Lundqvist confirms the sale but says it has gone to a European buyer “as is”.

The ship, which is due for special survey next month, has been renamed Britannia and is likely to have fetched $7m.
