Dorian Hellas is expected to keep hold of an aframax tanker after exploring a sale of the vessel.

Dorian Hellas, a private company controlled by Greek owner John Hadjipateras, was this week asking for offers in the 105,200-dwt Ohio (built 2009).

Bids on the Ohio, placed at between $22.5m and $24m, are said to have come in short of Dorian’s own valuation.
