Greece’s Centrofin Management has resumed scrapping tankers, providing further impetus to a relatively busy demolition year for oil carriers.

The 106,500-dwt aframax CE Niriis (built 1998) is at a Bangladeshi anchorage at Chattogram, as Chittagong is now known, and is expected to head towards a local demolition yard soon, ship management sources in Athens said.

No pricing details have emerged for the Japanese-built vessel.
