Lemos family company Enesel has sold two older tankers to fellow Greek shipowner Thenamaris.

Brokers said the 114,000-dwt Pantelis and Sparto (both built 2004) were sold for $11.5m each.

VesselsValue and Maritime Strategies International (MSI) ­estimate the ships are worth between $13m and $14m apiece. However, brokers tell TradeWinds the figure Thenamaris is thought to have paid is strong given the current tanker market.
