Sales speculation surrounds the oldest VLCC in the fleet of Greek owner Andriaki Shipping.

Brokers have been discussing the sale of the 309,500-dwt Arion (built 2001) during the past few days at what is a busy time for transactions involving veteran big tankers.

Some sources suggest the Samsung-built tanker has been snapped up by a Greek owner, with George Procopio’s Dynacom and Adam Polemis’s New Shipping among the names mentioned.
