Minerva Marine Sells Ice-Classed Aframax Minerva Nounou
Greek tanker operator Minerva Marine has reportedly agreed to sell the 20-year-old ice-classed aframax Minerva Nounou to Chinese buyers for more than $40m.
Greek shipowner Minerva Marine is moving to divest several older ice-classed vessels from its fleet, according to market reports. The sales include tonnage from one of the firm's primary tanker segments.
Among the disposals is the 2006-built aframax tanker Minerva Nounou, a 114,850 dwt vessel that has reached 20 years of service.
Multiple shipbroking reports indicate that buyers based in China have agreed to acquire the vessel for a price exceeding $40m.
