It has bought the two vessels that have been marketed for sale by Konig & Cie for some time, brokers say.
The 160,000-dwt Cape Bowen and Cape Bata (both built 2003) – reported by TradeWinds this week to have been sold to an unknown owner – have cost Tufton $31m each.
The figure is only a fraction above the $30.2m VesselsValue.com places on each of the tankers.
