Ridgebury Tankers has been linked to another vessel sale in a deal that could see the US shipowner nearly double what it paid for a 15-year-old suezmax.
Brokers in the US, Hong Kong and Greece all said that the company has sold the 150,000-dwt Ridgebury Judith (built 2008) at a price of $40m. The buyer was not disclosed.
If the tanker ultimately sells for that price, it would represent a 78% gain over the $22.5m
