Team Tankers has sold a pair of 15-year-old, MR product tankers as it clears out the older vessels acquired in a deal to takeover Sweden's Laurin Maritime last year.

The Oslo-listed tanker owner has sold the 44,000-dwt Team Tosca and Team Toccata (both built 2004) to Turkish interests, brokers said.

The Team Tankers board has said the sale of the pair brought in aggregate proceeds of $25.3m.
