A small product tanker that Norway blocked from discharging in the summer has wound up in the fleet of a new Russian owner, private bunkerer Scadar.
Murmansk shipowner Vladislav Boyarskiy confirmed the deal. He told TradeWinds his company paid $5.7m for the 4,600-dwt Dumankaya (built 2007), which is to be renamed Marinstraum.
TradeWinds reported in August that the southern Norwegian port of Tonsberg had denied the ship permission to discharge, in a dispute over when it had left the Russian flag.
