New York-listed Navios Acquisition has snapped up the 305,500-dwt Charles Eddie (built 2002) from Sincere Navigation, sources suggest.

A price of $41m has been placed on the purchase, which would be the owner’s fifth VL buy in seven months.

Attempts to reach Navios executives for comment on the matter were not immediately successful today.  

Navios Acquisition, which was one of the buyers interested in the the 320,000-dwt Younara Glory (built 2004) which went to DHT last week, has nine VLCCs already in its trading fleet of over 30 tankers.
