Clients of Coral Shipping Corp, a low-profile Greek tanker player, have emerged as the buyers of a Japanese-held products tanker, bringing the size of its fleet to 15 vessels in the water.

The 48,000-dwt medium-range-two (MR2) tanker Shimanami Sunshine (built 2004) was circulated for sale at the beginning of May by its Japanese owners, Asahi Tanker Co, a subsidiary of Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL).
