Two prominent tanker players have disposed of more aged tankers in the busy secondhand market while welcoming younger tonnage.

Market sources said Greece’s NGM Energy sold the 150,000-dwt suezmaxes A Melody and A Symphony (built 2001) for almost $14.8m each to Asian interests.

The price tag was deemed highly favourable to the Moundreas family-controlled company, which bought the sisterships from DS Tankers in April 2019 for close to $12m each.
