Top Greek owner Thenamaris has added a VLCC to the score of ageing tankers it has divested since March last year.

The market-savvy outfit has again beaten price expectations, with brokers in the US and Greece reporting it has offloaded the 306,500-dwt Seahero (built 2006) for $56m.

Thenamaris managers declined to comment on the reports, citing its corporate policy to not discuss commercial transactions.
