Okeanis Eco Tankers saw its third quarter loss increase as it fitted scrubbers to suezmaxes, but the fourth quarter is already looking strong.

The Oslo-listed Greek owner said the net deficit was $3.18m to 30 September, against $2.24m in 2018.

This was due to an increase in financial expenses as debt rose, and a decrease in suezmax revenue days as a result of scrubber retrofits.
