MM Marine, an Athens-based unit of Swiss commodity trader Mercuria, is divesting its only big tanker in what is very likely a highly lucrative deal.

Brokers in the US, London and Greece have reported that the company unloaded the 162,300-dwt Umnenga II (built 2006).

A rare type of ship, the Unmenga II is an epoxy-coated suezmax tanker that comes equipped with a scrubber and ice-class 1AS strengthened.
