Hanan Shipping is to add a sixth tanker in its fleet. A public notice from the local Coast Guard in Augusta, Italy, informs that the 1999-built medium range tanker Alberta Amoretti will soon change hands from Marittima Emiliana, part of the Amoretti Armatori group, to the Dubai-based buyer.

Hanan currently owns 3 small tankers and 2 Handysize tankers with an average age of 32 and 20 years respectively.

The price of the deal was not disclosed but according to VesselsValue, Alberta’s current market value stands around $5m.

This sale is part of a wider fleet rejuvenation plan of the Parma-based shipping company, which last summer also bought a pair of modern MR1 tankers, one of them was delivered few days ago by Gotland Rederi and renamed Lady Mariella.
