Bob Burke-led Ridgebury Tankers is lining up the purchase of four suezmax tankers hot on the heels of a successful VLCC asset play, market sources say.
Ridgebury is plotting the potential $82m move for four ships managed by Konig, TradeWinds understands.
The transaction would mark Ridgebury's first purchase this year and its first suezmax acquisition since 2016.
Market sources said Ridgebury is seeking capital as part of the latest transaction, which appears similar to twin moves in the VLCC market in 2015 and 2017.
