US sanctions have prompted a Singaporean trading house to sell Venezuela-linked tonnage while turning tankers away from the South American country.
A Mercantile & Maritime (M&M) spokesman confirmed to TradeWinds that the company sold the 298,300-dwt Trident Agility and 299,500-dwt sisterships Trident Symphony and Trident Tenacity (all built 2001).
“We got rid of those vessels. We want to be completely clear that we are in compliance,” the spokesman said.
