DHT Holdings needs to find right buyer before selling older ships

DHT Holdings could sell a few more of its ageing tankers, but the company is in no rush.

The New York-listed VLCC specialist’s chief executive Svein Moxnes Harfjeld said the company was not actively shopping the five ships still in its fleet that are 14 or more years old following the sale of the 298,000-dwt DHT Hawk (built 2007) and DHT Falcon (built 2006) for a total of $78m.
