CEPSA from Spain have sold the 2004-built Teide Spirit, a suezmax that notched up significant interest from buyers. Clarkson Research reports the Spanish company received around five bids for the South Korean built ship and in the end selected Greek owner Eurotankers’ $18.8m offer.
“[S]entiment is definitely on the rise for crude tonnage of this vintage, with current price levels attracting the interest of a number of established players,” Clarkson Research noted in its most recent weekly report.
Eurotankers lists a fleet of 15 vessels on its website, 12 of which are tankers while three are handysize bulkers.
