Ocean Tankers' in Difficulty

Ocean Tankers' assets go under the hammer(Oct 21 2011)

Another vessel operated by Cyprus-based Ocean Tankers and managed by Admibros is to be auctioned.

According to Lloyd’s List, the 1998-built 15,558 dwt chemical tanker ‘Anefani’ is to go under the hammer before the Rotterdam district court on November 22, on an ‘as is, where is’ basis, at the request of Royal Bank of Scotland, Dutch law firm AKD Prinsen van Wijmen confirmed to the daily shipping newspaper.

It was thought that the crew claimed nearly $200,000 on back wages, leading to a judgement to sell the vessel.

Earlier this week, the UK Admiralty Marshall opened bidding on the 1997-built, 15,885 dwt sister vessel ‘Frachtis’, currently lying off Falmouth, which had also been arrested.
Towards the end of last month, Lloyd’s List established that 1999-built, 14,441 dwt ‘Skledros’ and her sistership ‘Hartzi’ were being held off Skagen. The 2007 -built, 4,285 dwt ‘Marim’ was also being held in Rotterdam, while the 1999-built, 19,831 dwt ‘Eleousa Trikoukiotisa’ was lying in Ghent.

In addition, the 2001-built, 19,831 dwt, ‘Berengaria’ was alongside Gibraltar’s detached mole awaiting her fate, during Tanker Operator’s visit to the Rock last week.
