Belgian tanker owner Euronav has acquired two tankers through joint ventures in a bid to boost its winter spot exposure in strong markets.
The New York-listed owner said it had formed two 50:50 companies with affiliates of Ridgebury Tankers and clients of Tufton Oceanic.
Each venture has acquired one suezmax for a combined $40.6m.
Euronav told TradeWinds it was not naming the vessels, but they had been acquired from two different owners not connected to the partners.
