Newly created Turkish company Tankmarine Ship Management has notched up its first major ship acquisition, snapping up one of several tankers sold by Danish shipping giant Maersk Tankers.
Clients of Istanbul-based Tankmarine have emerged as the new owners of the 37,200-dwt Maersk Erin (built 2004), which was reported sold in September for $9.35m.
Some market sources believed at the time the Maersk Erin was bought enbloc with identical sistership Maersk Edgar, but that vessel ultimately went to Malaysian energy group ENRA, which bought it for $9.3m
