CMB.Tech cuts VLCC exposure further amid potential segment exit
- CMB.Tech has disclosed the sale of two more very large crude carriers, with delivery to their new owner in the second quarter
- Although the buyer was not officially named, broker sources indicate South Korean owner Sinokor is behind the purchase, having also acquired six VLCCs sold by CMB.Tech in January
- The rapid sale of eight VLCCs could point to a strategic exit from the VLCC segment
Once the transactions are completed, CMB.Tech will have just two VLCCs in operation, alongside four VLCC newbuildings due for delivery this year from Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding
