Rumours of Danish tanker owner Torm adding to its fleet appear to be wide of the mark.
Brokers are connecting the Copenhagen and Nasdaq-listed shipowner to the 50,000-dwt Axel (built 2020).
A price of $16.5m has been placed on the tanker, which would mark a slight climb in asset values in the sector.
However, sources say Torm is not thought be the buyer.
