Shipowner Evangelos Pistiolis has had a busy start to 2019, with his Top Ships taking delivery of four vessels in as many months.
The last two vessels were handed over to the Nasdaq-listed company by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in April and May, to give it a fleet of 14 tankers on the water.
Both the 157,000-dwt Eco Bel Air and Eco Beverly Hills have gone directly into three-year charters with BP, completing a comeback to the suezmax market after more than a decade away.
