Turkish owner Transal Denizcilik is selling five of its six chemical tankers as its parent Altinbas Holding looks towards an exit from the shipping business.
Transal has circulated the quintet in the market and is considered a serious seller given Turkish conglomerate Altinbas does not view shipping as a core business.
Brokers have been appointed to find a buyer for the 26,215-dwt Diamond-T (built 2011), the 21,377-dwt Ruby-T (built 2010), the 13,966-dwt Topaz-T (built 2009), the 13,947-dwt Turquoise-T (built 2008) and the 11,299-dwt Sapphire-T (built 2008).
