Angolan oil company Sonangol has sold another medium range (MR) tanker at a low price.

The Daedong-built, 50,000-dwt Imbondeiro (built 1998) has gone to an undisclosed  buyer for $5m.

This confirms the decline in tanker values during recent months, especially for older vessels.

VesselsValue estimates the ship is worth $7.9m.

In October last year the seven year older 40,000-dwt tanker Theresa Venus (built 1991) was sold for $4.7m
