South Korean shipowner Sinokor Merchant Marine is being linked to the sale of three VLCCs being marketed for sale in June by Oman’s Asyad Shipping Co.
Brokers named Sinokor as having been in protracted discussions with Asyad — the former Oman Shipping Co — on the scrubber-fitted, 316,373-dwt Fida and Sifa (both built 2011) and 299,991-dwt Saham (built 2010).
This week, a deal is reported to have been struck on the trio at an average price of about $64m each.
