Chandris (Hellas) is said to have bought a 15-year-old aframax tanker from Chilean operator Ultranav in a rare secondhand acquisition for the Greek owner.
The Greek shipowner agreed to buy the 105,400-dwt Cabo Tamar (built 2004) for $17m as the vessel completed drydocking recently, according to market sources.
Clarksons data shows the vessel is fitted with scrubber technology, giving it the option to continue consumption of the cheaper high-sulphur fuel oil after 31 December.
