Frontline will have a few more days to consider buying two more suezmaxes from Trafigura as part of a multi-vessel swoop.

Both sides on 23 August announced a deal in which Frontline may buy up to 14 suezmax tankers from Trafigura for $675m.

John Fredriksen's Frontline will buy at least 10 through the transaction, which had allowed the company to acquire another two by 12 September and then another two by 14 September.
