One of three chemical tankers owned by FSL Trust and chartered to Berlian Laju Tankers (BLT) has been redelivered. Cash-strapped BLT defaulted on lease payments in February for three chemical tankers its charters from FSL Trust under a sale and leaseback deal, Seatrade Asia online reports. The 19,900 dwt Perwiti has been redelivered to the trust renamed the FSL New York. The vessel is being technically managed by Colombia Shipmanagement and commercially managed by Nordic Tankers Management for an interim period before entering the Nordic Siva pool.
FSL Trust has demanded the redelivery of the other two chemical tankers leased to BLT.
