Turkey's Atlantis Tankers has finally got its hands on a tanker originally ordered in 2006.

The 5,650-dwt Atlantis Augusta, its twelfth vessel, was delivered last month following a dispute with yard owner Yildirim Group and various continuing lawsuits that saw it completed at a different shipyard altogether.

Atlantis, controlled by Lorenz Weinstabl, told TradeWinds its newbuilding and management arm Armona inked a contract with Turkey's Marmara Shipyard in 2006 for the construction of three 5,650-dwt tankers.
