New York-listed DHT is paying $49m for the DSME built tanker, which will carry the name DHT Condor.

“DHT considers this an attractive addition to its fleet and will continue to pursue investment opportunities and grow the company,” it said in a statement.

The owner does not identify the tanker, but it is believed to be the 320,000-dwt Younara Glory (built 2004) which was last week reported to have gone to Navios Maritime Acquisition in a $47m deal.
