Greek owner Kyklades Maritime continues to cut its fleet and is now linked to the sale of a further, modern aframax tanker -- this time to Economou company TMS Tankers.
The Samsung-built 115,700-dwt Nissos Anafi (built 2012) is sold for $29.1m, sources say.
Managers at TMS were not immediately available to comment.
US-listed Economou vehicle DryShips announced its return to the tanker market last month, with the purchase of an aframax resale and of a six-year old VLCC for a combined $102.5m.
