An unmanned NewLead Holdings chartered-in asphalt tanker remains idled in a Norwegian port as the company fails to respond to requests for what it plans to do with the ship.

The 3,416-dwt Ioli (built 2009) has been moored in the Port of Drammen since October.

NewLead, whose former chief executive Michael Zolotas (pictured) is being extradited to Cyprus, had announced a six-month charter on the ship earlier this year.
