Chemoil sold its 225,000 dwt tanker, MT Anand Sea for $26.5m to Glory Town Investments Limited. The company currently leases 46,099 metric tons of land based storage capacity at Vopak in Singapore for fuel oil and blended products. The VLCC was originally acquired as a short-term measure to provide additional capacity until its terminal was completed. However, during Chemoil’s second quarter, the vessel experienced operational disruptions whilst stationed in Malaysian waters. The transaction through Chemoil’s wholly owned subsidiary, Anand Sea Shipping Limited, will result in a net gain for the Group’s current financial year with a corresponding increase in the net tangible assets.
