Expanding Indian owner Seven Islands Shipping has added to its fleet with an acquisition from Maersk Tankers.
Brokers said the company paid $8m for the 35,000-dwt Rita Maersk (built 2004), which has been renamed Feather.
The vessel was one of three Maersk Tankers ships that had been circulated for sale in recent weeks, together with the 36,900-dwt Maersk Etienne (both built 2004) and the 35,200-dwt Roy Maersk (built 2005).
