Greek owner Okeanis Eco Tankers is moving to expand its crude fleet with the purchase of two suezmax newbuilding resales, backed by a planned share issue to help finance the deal.

The New York- and Oslo-listed company, controlled by the Alafouzos family, has agreed to buy the 157,000 dwt tankers for $97m each. The vessels are under construction at Daehan Shipbuilding in South Korea and are being acquired from an undisclosed third-party seller.

Okeanis said it has signed separate memoranda of agreement for each ship, with both units scheduled for delivery in January 2026. The acquisitions are contingent on the company completing a new equity offering, with proceeds earmarked to cover part of the purchase price.

The move extends Okeanis Eco Tankers’ pattern of adding modern, fuel-efficient crude tankers to its fleet at a time of continued firm earnings in the suezmax segment. The company’s current fleet consists of six scrubber-fitted suezmaxe and eight scrubber-fitted VLCC tankers, built between 2016 and 2022.
