Ridgebury Tankers has bought two suezmax tankers from Diamond S Shipping in the Connecticut owner’s first vessel acquisitions this year.
Market sources told TradeWinds that Ridgebury took the 150,000-dwt Aias and Amoureux (both built 2008) from Connecticut neighbour Diamond, for $22.5m each in an en bloc deal ahead of Christmas.
In an exchange filing, New York-listed Diamond confirmed the sale but did not identify the buyer.
