Two aframax tankers will shortly be sold for recycling, demolition brokers said.

But they warned it is to early to expect that activity in this segment will pick up significantly for now.

Adam Polemis-controlled New Shipping is seeking to sell the 107,000-dwt New Paros (built 1998), brokers said.

Some brokers said the ship has been committed to a transaction at $405 per ldt, while others said the Greek shipowner is holding out for $410 per ldt.
