Tanker Asset Values Stay Red Hot as Sale and Purchase Activity Accelerates
Tanker asset values remain red hot heading into August, with sale and purchase (S&P) activity accelerating across chemical, VLCC and LR2 segments, according to Splash247. Reported deals include Nisshin Shipping's $30m chemical tanker sale, CMB.TECH's ninth VLCC sale at about $122.8m, and Velos Tankers' LR2 sale at $50m. The transactions underline sharply rising asset values and robust demand for both modern and vintage tonnage.
