Melissanidis-family company Aegean Shipping Management has sold a five-year-old MR product tanker, just as it received delivery of an aframax newbuilding.
London-based brokers said Aegean sold the 50,900-dwt tanker Green Hellas (built 2014) to unidentified Chinese owners for about $26m. Managers at the company did not respond to a request for comment by the time of writing.
George Melissanidis-led Aegean is often active as a seller on the sale-and-purchase market.
