Antwerp owner Euronav has sold two older suezmaxes to private interests of its controlling Saverys family as it continues to focus on eco ships.
The New York and Brussels-listed company said the 150,000-dwt Sapphira (built 2008) and Statia (built 2006) have gone to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Compagnie Maritime Belge as part of the “fleet rejuvenation”.
The sale will generate a capital gain of $61.38m,
