CSSC pays $30m for 18-year-old VLCC

Brokers report that the Hong Kong shipowning and leasing arm of China State Shipbuilding Co (CSSC) has snapped up the 18-year-old Cosmic Jewel VLCC from Eastern Pacific for $30m.

CSSC has been in the market for a number of older VLCCs of later for oil storage purposes off Singapore.

The sale of Cosmic Jewel leaves Eastern Pacific with just one VLCC left, the 15-year-oldMaritime Jewel.

China has been buying up oil in vast quantities this year while it remains cheap to boost its national reserves.
