Reported sale prices of aged tankers have edged closer to scrap values as the winter freight market turns out to be a disappointment for shipowners.
Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines was said to be in discussions to sell the 300,700-dwt Selene Trader (built 2003) for between $23.5m and $24.4m. Some brokers said the vessel was already sold.
Also, Global United Shipping reportedly fetched $11.5m
