Indonesia’s state-run Pertamina is seeking to expand its tanker fleet to take advantage of the benefits of free-on-board (FOB) cargoes and reduce its dependence on chartered-in tonnage.
TradeWinds first reported last week that brokers were linking Pertamina to the 299,980-dwt Toba (built 2004), and the 45,902-dwt Challenge Polaris (built 2010) and Challenge Paragon (built 2009) in the NYK Line fleet.
