Capital Product Partners is exploring the sale of its oldest suezmax tanker after it came to the end of a time charter.

New York-listed Capital is circulating the 159,000-dwt Amore Mio 2 (built 2001) which is being made available for inspection in the US city of Galveston, sources say.

While it is on the market it is not certain the ship will be sold, with brokers suggesting that Capital is testing the waters.
