Only a handful of tanker sales have been reported across various size segments over the past week, amid today’s unclear outlook as war in the Middle East enters its third week, making market conditions “as clear as mud”, according to one Greek broking house. Clean MR earnings fell 25% to $46,266 per day, still double last year’s average for MR2 units, according to Clarksons, which notes that the scrubber-fitted sister vessels, the 46,000 dwt Finnanger and Fjellanger, built at Hyundai Mipo in 2010 and 2011, respectively, have been sold en bloc to MSEA Tankers for around $47m. The sale leaves Westfal-Larsen with five more sister coated tankers. Last week, Splash reported Westfal-Larsen had sold its 50% stake in open-hatch operator Saga Welco to joint venture partner Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK). googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsNorway
