Oil major Chevron is selling its third Samsung-built aframax tanker in six months to Greek interests.

Market sources suggest a Greek buyer is behind a brewing deal for the 104,900-dwt Vega Voyager (built 2003).

The most intensively rumoured name is that of Piraeus-based Horizon Tankers, which is said to be in the process of buying the vessel for $10.8m.

Managers at the Anthony E Comninos-led company declined to comment on the matter.
