Greek shipowner Super Eco Tankers Management has fetched a firm price for its last vessel built before 2000.

Brokers in the US said the company has sold the 47,200-dwt product tanker Arcturus (built 1998) to an undisclosed buyer for $6m.

The scrap price for the Onomichi Dockyard-built tanker is estimated to be slightly less than $4m.

The ship has been in the company’s fleet since it was new.
