Tanker owner Euronav is breaking into scrubber-fitted VLCC tonnage with the purchase of three resales from Sinokor Merchant Marine priced at $93.5m each.
Former scrubber-sceptic Euronav said it is paying a total of $280.5m for the VLCCs, which are under construction at DSME in South Korea.
The vessels, which are eco-type ships fitted with ballast water treatment systems, are due to be delivered early in the fourth quarter of 2020 and in January and February 2021.
