Cleaves Securities believes Hunter Group is not about to disappear from the tanker scene any time soon, despite the recent sales of two VLCCs.

Oslo-listed Hunter has agreed to dispose of the 300,000-dwt, scrubber-fitted Hunter Laga and Hunter Saga (both built 2019) for a combined $168.4m, or $84.2m each. Brokers pointed to Abu Dhabi National Oil Co as the new owner.
