Greek owner Metrostar is poised to sell its 10 medium-range (MR) products-tanker newbuildings at approximately the same price it had agreed with failed initial-public-offering (IPO) candidate Diamond S Shipping.

The Metrostar ships are on subjects to Andreas Sohmen-Pao’s BW Maritime at $37.9m each, brokers say, compared with the $38m Metrostar had agreed before Diamond’s IPO collapsed only two weeks ago in New York.
