Glencore's shipping arm has sold two of its MR product/chemical tankers, according to brokers.

An unidentified buyer has reportedly picked up the 50,000-dwt Alpine Mary and Alpine Maria (both built 2014) for $27m each from Singapore-based ST Shipping.

Brokers initially named the buyer as Oceangold Tankers of Greece, but Goldenport Holdings' chief executive John Dragnis told TradeWinds this was not the case.
