Indonesian tanker owner Waruna Nusa Sentana is said to have purchased yet another product tanker while dispatching a further two older vessels for scrapping.

The Medan-based company is said to have purchased the 16,900-dwt chemical and product tanker Berg (built 2008) from Unicorn Shipping, the Singapore-arm of South Africa's Grindrod Group.

The Taizhou Sanfu-built ship is said to have been sold for $7.8m.
