DHT Holdings has sold off a trio of VLCCs, including two which it acquired as part of its fleet deal with BW Group earlier this year.
Speculation in the market is linking Bob Burke's Ridgebury Tankers to the deal, in what would take the US-based owner's VLCC purchasing activity to four in quick succession.
New York-listed DHT says the ships have gone to a single buyer for $66.5m.
