Brokers said that Norden continues to dispose of elderly tonnage.

2006-built handysize tanker Nord Princess has been linked to Greek tanker player Ancora Investment for US$13.5m. Other recent sales done by the Danish tanker owner include two similar sized ships, the Nord Thumbelina and the Nord Mermai, both of which fetched US$14m a couple of months ago.

The price of the newest sales has raised the eyebrows for followers of the tanker sector, with one broker report commenting that the values show that prices have not softened quite as much as some indications have suggested. VesselsValue.com sets the market value for the ship at US$11.26m.
