MR tankers are still enticing the most secondhand buyers this year, despite a drop in overall crude and product vessel sales.
In the first seven months, sales of all tankers of above 34,000 dwt for further trading totalled 286, down 36% from 2023, according to shipbroker BRS.
MRs represented 41% of these deals, up from 23% in the same period of last year.
