Denmark-based Torm has emerged as the buyer of three large product carriers sold by Okeanis Eco Tankers.

The shipowner announced on Wednesday that it had acquired the 114,300-dwt LR2s Nissos Therassia, Nissos Heraclea and Nissos Schinoussa (all built 2015), which all have exhaust gas scrubbers, for $120.8m.

“We are a believer in a bigger presence in the LR2 segment,” Torm chief executive Jacob Meldgaard told TradeWinds.
