RFOcean grows into bigger tankers with ABC Maritime buy

Frederik Rye-Florentz's RFOcean is in the process of acquiring up to two chemical and product tankers from Geneva's ABC Maritime.

The move will see the London-based Norwegian shipowner grow its fleet and enter a new size category in the sector.

RFOcean confirmed it had bought the 19,100-dwt Adfines Sun (built 2011) through a Fleetscape Capital lease finance vehicle. It has renamed the ship RF Stella.
