Greece’s Dragnis family is being linked with the purchase of an aframax from New York-listed Teekay Tankers.

Brokers report that Paris and John Dragnis’s Oceangold Tankers has bought the 113,000-dwt Kanata Spirit (built 1999).

A price of $7.8m has been placed on the Samsung-built tanker.

A spokesperson for Teekay declined to comment when contacted by TradeWinds this week, while John Dragnis could not be reached given the Easter holiday season.
