Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA is looking to secure five more tankers on charter after its fleet was hit by US sanctions.
The company is also seeking to extend deals for three more ships, according to sources and PDVSA reports cited by S&P Global Platts.
“PDVSA requires as soon as possible three vessels for LPG, two aframaxes, two panamaxes and one long-range [LR1] vessel,” an official of PDV Marina, the PDVSA shipping company, told the agency.
