Volare Shipping has agreed to acquire a scrubber-fitted, eco-design very large crude carrier newbuild from an affiliate of Trafigura Maritime Logistics for $210 million, MarineLink reported on 11 November 2026.
The transaction concerns a single VLCC newbuild identified in the report by the partial name M.T. VENI VIDI VICI. The purchase price for the vessel is $210 million and the seller is described as an affiliate of Trafigura Maritime Logistics, known as TML in the report.
The vessel is described as both scrubber-fitted and an eco-design VLCC newbuild, indicating it was constructed to a specification aimed at improved fuel performance and equipped with an exhaust gas cleaning system. The report presents these technical characteristics as part of the terms of sale.
