Keonamex Petroleum Nigeria has emerged as the buyer of a Maersk Product Tankers vessel that had been stranded in Malta for 38 days during the Mediterranean migrant crisis.

Equasis and VesselsValue data suggests the Nigerian logistics firm acquired the 36,900-dwt Maersk Etienne (built 2004) in September right after 27 Libyan refugees disembarked.

No information on the sale price is available.
