The Heidmar-Signal Maritime alliance has taken another hit, with New York-based owner International Seaways pulling two more tankers from its pools.

Only last week, International Seaways confirmed it had withdrawn a trio of aframaxes from Heidmar’s Sigma tanker pool.

The trio went to Concord Maritime of Connecticut, led by former Heidmar chief executive Ben Ognibene.

This time, International Seaways has withdrawn suezmaxes, with the 158,000-dwt sisterships Seaways Hatteras and Seaways Montauk (both built 2017) being placed with Penfield Marine of Connecticut.
