A pair of VLCC newbuildings are being circulated for sale again amid talk that the most recent deal involving the vessels has collapsed.
Tanker market sources said this week that a sale to a Greek owner, Aristides Alafouzos-controlled Glafki, of the final two VLCCs originally ordered by Theodore Angelopoulos’ Metrostar Management had “died”.
Brokers said the ships are being offered at per-vessel prices in “the very low $80m range”.
