The company did not reveal the seller of the 150,000 dwt Jag Laadki.
However, VesselsValue’s data shows that the only Suezmax vessel purchased by G E Shipping in December is Cosmic, a 150,300 dwt tanker. The 2000-built ship was bought from Greece-based shipping company Nereus Shipping for USD 14 million.
Earlier this month, the company inked contracts to buy two 157,000 dwt Suezmax crude carriers from Panama-based Bretta Tanker Holdings. The tankers are expected to join the company’s fleet in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Including Jag Laadki, G E Shipping’s fleet currently stands at 42 vessels, comprising 27 tankers and 15 dry bulk carriers with an average age of 9.54 years and an aggregate tonnage of 3.38 million dwt.
