A Gibraltar-flagged tanker will be auctioned in Trinidad next month at the request of its mortgagee, Caterpillar Financial Services.

The admiralty marshal of Trinidad & Tobago has ordered the sale of the 9,100-dwt Olesya (built 2009), which is listed as owned by Jop Shipping.

The vessel has been arrested in Trinidad since January 2018 or earlier for repairs to the main engine gearbox, which will need to be completed by the buyer, broker CW Kellock said.
