Dynacom Tankers Management has reportedly sold a trio of panamx tankers to a Middle Eastern buyer.

The reported deal comes at a price that shows prices for ice-strencthened vessels of this age range are continuing to rise.

Shipbrokers said the Greek shipowner has fetched a total of $72m for the ice-class-1A crude tankers.

The vessels involved in the deal include the 70,400-dwt Ice Energy and Ice Victory (both built 2006).
