His Metrostar Management, which sold the last of its eight VLCC newbuildings to Onassis, is planning two aframaxes at the DSME managed facility.

Delivery of the 115,000-dwt pair under discussion is understood to have been penciled in for late 2018.

Angelopoulos is making his return to shipowning in a sector which has just come into vogue.
