Famed shipowner Peter Georgiopoulos is back in acquisition mode, taking in an 11-year-old MR tanker from Dee4 Capital of Denmark.

Brokers placed a $26.5m price tag on the 50,100-dwt Dee4 Fig (built 2011) purchase by Greece’s United Overseas Group (UOG), which is jointly run by Georgiopoulos and long-time business partner Leo Vrondissis.

A UOG representative declined to comment, saying the company’s policy is not to remark on sale-and-purchase transactions.
