Earlier this month, brokers reported Parinda Naree had been sold to breakers in India. Its last AIS signal, recorded on August 11, showed the vessel at anchor off the coast of Mumbai.
Precious said its strategy is “to rejuvenate its fleet by selling its older vessels and acquiring younger and bigger vessels”.
