Embattled Brightoil Petroleum aims to have the lion’s share of its arrested tankers back in trading over the next few months.

In an exclusive interview with TradeWinds, chief executive ­Stephen Qi Jun said the shipowner is ­restructuring and is in talks with Western lenders to forge refinancing deals.

“If everything is on track, we may be able to conclude some ­refinancing agreements by [the] end of next month,” he said.
