Greece's Top Ships and Swiss trader Gunvor have continued their shipowning partnership with a deal to buy two new MR tankers.

The Nasdaq-listed shipowner said the companies will each own 50% of the 50,000-dwt eco vessels Eco Yosemite Park and Eco Joshua Park, both delivered in March from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in South Korea.

The seller is a company affiliated with Top Ships chief executive officer Evangelos Pistiolis.
