Singapore’s Pacific Carriers has acquired an MR tanker from the fleet of Greece’s Ionia Management.
Chief operating officer Hor Weng Yew, who is senior director of tankers and strategic business development, confirms Pacific Carriers has bought the 51,300-dwt IMO2-type product/chemical tanker Fidias (built 2007).
Brokers suggest the outfit paid $16.7m for the vessel, which is in line with the market evaluation of the STX-built ship by VesselsValue.
