Maersk Tankers has confirmed the sale of one of its older vessels in the latest step in a long-running fleet renewal programme.
Privately owned Maersk Tankers has sold the 34,800-dwt Maersk Rhode Island (built 2002), a spokesperson confirmed to TradeWinds.
Shipbrokers have placed a figure of $7m or a little less on the ship, which has now been renamed Countess 1.
