Neste Offloads Last 2 Tankers
Finland-based oil refining company Neste said it will sell the product vessels Purha and Jurmo to Swedish shipping company Rederi AB Donsötank.
As informed, the ships will be delivered to its new owner in September 2015. Until that time, OSM Ship Management Finland will continue as the Purha's and Jurmo's ship management company.
The 25,000dwt sister ships were built by Jinling Shipyard and were classed by DNV. They were built in 2003 and 2004 respectively.
The sale is based on Neste's decision to offload its shipping operations, announced in fall 2013. Neste has now sold all the vessels it fully owns.
The tankers and harbor tugs previously owned by Neste are now Finnish-owned jointly by the National Emergency Supply Agency and the Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company.
