London shipowner and manager Navig8 has expanded its aframax pool further with a deal that sees Libya's General National Maritime Transport Co (GNMTC) return.

The pools operator said it took over management of the 116,000-dwt tanker Alqadisia (built 2008) earlier in April.

This brings the V8 aframax pool to 12 vessels.

GNMTC has previously worked with Navig8 in the aframax sector, and the company added its 159,000-dwt suezmax Libya (built 2007) to the Suez8 pool in January 2020.
