Busy Greek tanker ordering continued at a brisk pace this week, with news emerging about a deal for up to four suezmaxes at South Korea’s DH Shipbuilding.
Several market sources in Greece and the Far East said the order is by Greece’s Atlas Maritime for two firm and two optional 158,000-dwt units, priced at about $84m each.
The order represents a departure for Atlas principal Leon Patitsas, whose tanker activities had been so far focused on aframax crude carriers and LR2 product tankers.
