Belgium's Euronav has added another scrubber-fitted VLCC resale to its fleet as it defies temporary tanker headwinds.

The company is paying $93m for a 300,200-dwt ship being built at DSME in South Korea, as it continues to take the plunge into exhaust gas cleaners after softening its stance on the technology under chief executive Hugo de Stoop.

The vessel will also come with a ballast water treatment system.
