Sources tell Splash that the privately owned Thai tanker player has added a 12-year-old aframax, named Marmara Sea, from Idan Ofer’s Eastern Pacific. The newly delivered ship has repainted its name to TMN Plentitude earlier this month and the ship has been reregistered to the Thai flag, joining two other tankers.
