Sinokor Merchant Marine looks set to turn a profit on the sale of an aframax tanker.

Brokers suggest the 113,000-dwt Pacific London (built 1999) has been snapped up by Bakri International Company, but TradeWinds is told the company has not bought the ship.

A price of $15.5m is being reported for the ship. This compares with the $12.5m the South Korean owner is recorded to have paid for the tanker in July last year.
