Turkey’s Atlantis Tankers has acquired two chemical/products tankers from Greece’s Restis group.

The company said the 5,500-dwt Ionian Trader and Lydian Trader (both built 2008) were part of a series of six constructed by Turkey’s KGS, a joint venture (JV) between Ares Tankers and Galatasaray Holding, at Celik Tekne Shipyard.

The intention was to sell them all to another 50/50 JV involving Mowinckels Rederi and Ares.
