d’Amico International Shipping (DIS) has revived plans to shed all its remaining old MR ships as interest in such vessels is bouncing back.

The Milan-listed player announced on 10 November its first ship sale of the year as it agreed to offload the 51,100-dwt High Venture (built 2006) for $10.7m.

One day later, the company’s senior management said that it will eventually dispose of the 47,000-dwt High Valor and 46,800-dwt High Priority (both built 2005) as well — the two oldest ships in its owned and chartered fleet of 38 product tankers.
