Japanese shipping conglomerate NYK Line has sold yet another VLCC as it shakes out older tankers and turns towards low-emission ships.
The 310,000-dwt Tsuruga (built 2009) was sold to a Greek buyer for $39.8m, according to brokers based in London and the US.
Tokyo-listed NYK declined to comment.
The Hitoshi Nagasawa-led company has sold six VLCCs since the beginning of 2020, all constructed between 2003 and 2011.
