A pair of Advantage Tankers-controlled aframaxes have reportedly been sold as prices appear to move higher in the sector.

Several brokers said the 115,800-dwt Advantage Arrow (built 2009) and Advantage Avenue (built 2010) have been changed hands for $26m each in an-en bloc sale.

Togrul Tokgoz, chief executive of Switzerland-based Advantage Tankers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on reports of the sale.
