Greek interests have been linked to a pair of aframaxes that Maersk Tankers reportedly shed last week.

Brokers in London and Athens identified listed dry bulk company Diana Shipping as the buyer of the 105,000-dwt Maersk Jamnagar and Maersk Jeddah (both built 2011).

TradeWinds has reported that the vessels were sold for $30.3m.

Diana chief strategy officer Ioannis Zafirakis, however, denied the company was involved in any such a deal.
