We plan to deploy this vessel to Greece, where we continue to meet the strong demand for modern tonnage.

"With nine additional double-hull bunkering tankers scheduled to be delivered this year under our fully financed newbuild program, we remain well positioned to further expand sales volumes and strengthen our leading brand for the global supply of marine fuel," Tavlarios added.
