Piraeus-based Horizon Tankers is understood to be in close talks to purchase its second aframax.
Brokers said the Anthony E Comninos-led company has already agreed to buy the 115,600-dwt Krasnodar (built 2003) from Russia’s Novoship for about $9.5m, while other sources said the deal is still on subjects.
A Horizon Tankers executive would neither confirm nor deny that the company has bought the ship.
