Benetech is being linked to an enbloc deal for a pair of medium-range-two (MR2) tankers, which would mark an acceleration in the Greek company’s expansion drive.

The 50,400-dwt sisterships Oriental Ruby and Oriental Emerald (both built 2005) have changed hands for a total price of $22.5m, with brokers identifying Benetech as the buyer. 

Benetech managers did not respond to a request for comment by TradeWinds' press time.
