Brokers have identified Stamatis Molaris-controlled Empire Navigation as the buyer of MISC Berhard’s A-class fleet of seven 38,000-dwt IMO type-II/III chemical/products tankers, in an en-bloc deal said to be worth between $231m and $234.5.

The buyer’s identity remained a mystery when TradeWinds reported the transaction in May.

The sale effectively marked the end of Kuala Lumpur-based MISC’s involvment in medium- range (MR) products/chemical tankers.
