The Greek owner has been circulating the 297,000-dwt Desimi (built 2011) and the Solana (built 2010) in the market, as our print edition reported this week.

This morning brokers acting for the seller revealed in a circular to would-be buyers that the tankers had been withdrawn from sale.

While there is not explination for the move in the note, it is suggested the VLCCs failed to attract a price which matched the owner’s expectations.
