Lagos-based tanker and offshore vessel owner Olimpex Nigeria has sold two of its product tankers for demolition.

Sources close to Olimpex say the 40,200-dwt Norte (built 1991) and the 39,500-dwt Breeze (built 1989) have been sold to shipbreakers in the Indian sub-continent.

TradeWinds is told that the deals were concluded at $460 per ldt in early December, and the ships departed from Nigeria later that month.
