Thai tanker owner Prima Marine is set to continue its spending spree in the tanker sector next year, TradeWinds understands.

The shipowner is set to swoop on at least eight tankers in 2020, according to analysts who follow the Bangkok-listed company.

Top of its shopping list is a VLCC, as the outfit seeks to profit from the impact of IMO 2020 fuel switch and the demand for storage capacity in Asia.
