Polembros Shipping of Greece, which was busy in the secondhand market last week, has trashed reports this week linking it to the purchase of two more aframaxes, the TH Sonata , and TH Symphony, both built in 2008.
In a mail to Splash, managing director George Vakirtzis wrote: “I can confirm that the above rumour is not correct.”
Last week, Splash reported that the 43-year-old company had added a 2006-built aframax tanker, Elia, to its fleet of dry and liquid bulk carriers. It also offloaded an older tanker last week.
As of today Polembros operates a fleet of around 10 bulkers and a similar number of tankers and a further four suezmax tanker newbuildings scheduled for delivery in 2016 and 2017.
