Tankers International has revealed the addition of two Vietnamese VLCCs to its fleet.

The London-based pool operator said on Tuesday that it had welcomed “a Vietnamese-based shipping company as a pool partner”.

Reputable databases indicate that the two VLCCs named by Tankers International, the 298,000-dwt Felix (built 2010) and Symphony (built 2009), are owned by two relative newcomers on the Vietnamese shipowning scene, both launched in 2021.
