Torm adds two more MR tanker newbuild resales

Torm adds two more MR tanker newbuild resales
Torm has added two more MR tanker newbuild resales from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.

The two 50,000 dwt newbuilds due for delivery in Q3 this year sees Torm bringing its resale tally in the quarter to six at a total of $185m.

“With these two MR resales delivering in Q3 2017, we have acquired a total of six new high- quality product tankers over the last few weeks,” said Torm executive director Jacob Meldgaard.

“We believe that asset prices are at a cyclical low and that our purchase prices are attractive. Therefore, the timing is right for growing and renewing our fleet.”
