Tsakos has been tied to purchasing five modern tankers in a deal with Norway’s Viken Shipping. The Greek owner has picked up the 2023-built LNG dual-fuel LR2s Angleviken and Askviken, the 2018-built aframax Breiviken and its 2019-built counterpart Eikeviken as well as the 2018-built suezmax Morviken, according to MB Shipbrokers, formerly Maersk Broker. No price has been given for the ships that come attached with a charter contract to French energy major TotalEnergies. Still, VesselsValue estimates the quintet as worth around $390m in total. Further details about the deal have not been revealed, and whether it relates to Tsakos-linked New York-listed tanker and LNG owner Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) which has a fleet of 68 ships, including those under construction. As for Viken, the en bloc sale leaves the company with a pair of chemical carriers and a quintet of modern Aframax shuttle tankers. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsGreece Norway
