Russia’s SCF Group has won the auction for Primorsk Shipping’s (Prisco) nine-vessel tanker fleet.
Sources close to the company said SCF had picked up the five medium range and four aframax ice-class tankers which were being sold off in the wake of Prisco’s bankruptcy.
The fleet was expected to fetch around the $200m mark.
The ships comprise the 104,500-dwt Zaliv Amurskiy and Zaliv Amerika (both built 2008); two long-range-two (LR2) product tankers, the Zaliv Baikal and Zaliv Vostok (both built 2009); and five MR products tankers, the Prisco Elena, the Prisco Elizaveta, the Prisco Irina (all built 2009), the Prisco Alexandra, and the Prisco Ekaterina (both built 2008).
