Owners’ hunger for modern fuel-efficient tankers could lead to a big jump in assets prices, following news of Hafnia’s swoop for the Scorpio Tankers LR1 fleet.
TradeWinds reported last week that the BW Group company is in advanced talks to add 12 modern ships, which Hafnia has confirmed.
Clarksons Platou Securities analysts Frode Morkedal and Omar Nokta said the Clarksons sale-and-purchase desk has noted that, as with other potential deals, this transaction appears likely to be an all-cash affair.
