Gungen Denizcilik has denied market reports two of its suezmax tankers have been time chartered to Vitol.

European shipbrokers have reported the Swiss trader to have chartered the 150,000-dwt Ottoman Sincerity and Ottoman Courtesy (both built 2017) for up to a year at $14,000 per day with a profit split.

An executive at the Turkish shipowner says the reports are inaccurate.
