An Onassis VLCC sale was the talk of the market this week as both the price and the buyer of the tanker captured attention.

Olympic Shipping has offloaded the 306,600-dwt Olympic Hawk (built 2000) for a strong $34.5m, with GS Caltex understood to be its final destination.

Hong Kong-based Oriental Shipping Investments is identified as the buyer of the tanker.
