The Saragol Tankers cooperation with Sonangol and two groups of investors led by Clarksons Platou Project Finance is poised to come to an an end, TradeWinds has learned.

The Angolan oil company had two tankers fixed on long-term charter to two different Norwegian firms.

Some brokers claim that one of the firms, Saragol Tankers 2 AS, has already sold the 113,000-dwt Mucua (built 2008) to an undisclosed buyer for $20.1m.
