Bahri is scrapping one of its oldest VLCCs in India, while another it sold for recycling in October could be destined for a breaker's beach in Bangladesh.
Hisham Nughaimish, Bahri’s vice president for commercial and operations of the Saudi shipowner's oil business, confirmed that the 300,000-dwt Watban (built 1996) has been sold for scrap.
The ship, which is deemed to be at the end of its service life, was sold "as is" in Jeddah for onward delivery to shipbreakers at Alang.
