Vietnamese shipping newcomer Sao Viet Petrol Transportation has wasted no time beefing up its tanker fleet, taking delivery of three tankers quietly bought from some of the bigger names in the tanker sector.
IHS Markit data indicated that all three were delivered to the Hanoi-based company in March, although the purchase deals may have occurred earlier.
The largest of the trio was Thenamaris’ 164,000-dwt suezmax Searacer (built 2002), which brokers reported in early March as being sold for $15.3m.
