Deal-hungry Oaktree Capital Management has picked up another batch of medium-range (MR) products tankers, snatching six newbuilding resales from German KG (limited partnership) Christian Ahrenkiel, said market sources this week.

The price of the six 50,300-dwt units, all scheduled for delivery in 2015, was not immediately disclosed but it could easily top $225m en bloc based on recent valuations.

The tanker sales come hot on the heels of news that Ahrenkiel has seen its 62 boxships taken over by compatriot MPC Group as it seeks to get through a prolonged market downturn.
