Expanding German owner GEFO is reported to have bought four tankers from Turkey's Besiktas Group.

Brokers reported a deal for the 4,100-dwt Besiktas Champion (built 2010), Galata, Orient and Pera (all built 2009) for an undisclosed price.

Neither company has responded to TradeWinds' requests for comment.

The ships were built by Besiktas Shipyard.
