Aeolos Management buys China VLCC's New Talisman in $36m deal

Aeolos Management has reportedly bought a second tanker from China VLCC, part of China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES).

Brokers said Aeolos, which is linked to Greece's Embiricos family, has paid $36m for the 296,000-dwt New Talisman (built 2009) in one of the first VLCC sales of 2022.

The deal highlights that despite low freight rates, Greek buyers remain interested in older VLCCs.
