Greek shipowner IMS SA is looking to offload one of its oldest vessels.

Brokers said the 46,000-dwt tanker Risa (built 2000), which normally trades methanol between the Arabian Gulf and China, is en route to Ningbo in China, where it will be open for inspection towards the end of this month.

The tanker, which was constructed at South Korea's Daedong Shipbuilding, passed special survey in May last year.
