N2Tankers has seen its pool shrink by two vessels as the hot tanker market attracts ships into spot trading.

TradeWinds reported in January that the aframax pool had reached a fleet of 15 vessels.

This figure is now down to 14 aframaxes after an undisclosed tanker exited the pool.

In addition, Singapore shipowner Pusaka Laut, which has three ships in N2Tankers, has reportedly sold one of its trio.
