Navig8 has boosted its ties with Arnie Blystad after the Norwegian shipowner entered an aframax tanker into one of its pools.

The Japanese-built 107,081-dwt Songa Coral (built 2005) is set to join Navig8’s V8 Pool later this month, it has been confirmed.

The aframax was last reported to have been fixed to South Korea’s Pan Ocean shipping in 2016 on a two-year charter at $23,000 per day.
