Diversified Danish shipowner Celsius Shipping has sold one of its oldest chemical tankers amid an uptick in transactions for J19-class stainless-steel vessels.
Brokers said the company has offloaded the 19,800-dwt Celsius Manhattan (built 2006) for $11.5m, possibly to Chinese shipowner Taihua Ship Management.
Celsius chairman Jeppe Jensen confirmed the Kitanihon Shipbuilding-constructed vessel has been sold.
