Dynacom boss George Procopiou confirms that the two Universal-built, ice-class 1A ships, the 146,000-dwt Ice Traveller (built 2007) and Ice Explorer (built 2006), have been sold for $44.2m and $41.2, respectively.
Dynacom ordered a series of sisterships at Universal for what was understood to have been $46.5m to $47m each.
The secondhand market for suezmax tankers is traditionally a fairly illiquid segment but expanding Ridgebury has concluded a number of deals at lower prices than the Dynacom ships in the past few months.
