Gener8 Maritime has scored a firm $81m per unit on a sale of two modern VLCCs to AET, TradeWinds has learned.

It has sold the 320,000-dwt Noble and 300,000-dwt Theseus (both built 2016), sources say.

Do the sales mean something else for Gener8? On a week in which suezmax tanker specialist Nordic American Tankers (NAT) confessed covenant breaches, could Gener8 also be bumping up against loan laws?

No, according to to sources close to the Peter Georgiopoulos-led tanker giant.
