Tanker owner Euronav has sold a very large crude carrier (VLCC) for $21m.

The Paddy Rodgers-led company said it has offloaded the 319,430-dwt TI Topaz (built 2002), one of its two oldest VLCCs.

TradeWinds reported last week that Adam Polemis’ New Shipping was linked to the acquisition of TI Topaz.

The vessel will be delivered to its new owner in the second quarter, ahead of its third special survey.
