Navios Maritime Partners has reportedly acquired a pair of resale tanker newbuildings.
According to TradeWinds, the company is said to have bought two conventionally fuelled aframax product carriers from Pro Tanker Investment — a shipping company launched by New Changjiang Group, which owns Chinese shipbuilder Zhoushan Changhong Shipyard, where the vessels are being built.
The price paid by Navios is thought to be above USD 67 million each for the 115,000-dwt product carriers, which will be equipped with deepwell cargo pumps.
