John Angelicoussis-backed Maran Tankers’ has declared its final suezmax option at Korea's Daehan Shipbuilding.

The yard said on Thursday that the last ship of four, a 157,000-dwt tanker, has been firmed up with the Greek owner.

The Haenam-based shipbuilder had said in February that Maran signed up for a suezmax by exercising an option it held for a tanker that was linked to an order placed at the yard in November.
