The tanker owner Hafnia has divested four LR1, two MR, and four handy vessels as part of its ongoing fleet renewal program.

The group has entered into sale agreements, which were approved by the board of directors, for the disposal of four LR1 vessels (2008-built Hafnia Shinano, 2009-built Hafnia Yangtze, 2008-built Hafnia Seine and 2010-built Hafnia Zambesi); two MR vessels (2013-built Hafnia Leo, 2012-built Hafnia Crux); and four handy vessels (2016-built Hafnia Torres, 2015-built Hafnia Sunda, 2015-built Hafnia Malacca, 2015-built Hafnia Magellan) to external parties.

The vessels are pending delivery to the buyers.

Furthermore, the group sold and delivered on January 12 the MR vessel Hafnia Libra to an external party.

It also sold and delivered to its new owner on January 26 the MR vessel Hafnia Phoenix.

On 27 January, the group took delivery of an IMO-II MR vessel, Ecomar Gironde, through its ECOMAR joint venture. Constructed at Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) in China, the Ecomar Gironde is a 49,800-dwt dual-fuel, methanol-capable chemical IMO II medium-range tanker.

“In line with our ongoing fleet renewal strategy, we continue to divest older tonnage. In January 2026, we completed the sale of the 2013-built MR vessels, the Hafnia Libra and the Hafnia Phoenix, and took delivery of the Ecomar Gironde, the fourth and final dual-fuel IMO II MR tanker under our Ecomar joint venture with Socatra of France. Over the first quarter, we have further sold four LR1 vessels, two MR vessels and four Handy vessels to external parties, which are pending delivery to the buyers,” Mikael Skov, chief executive officer of Hafnia, said.

The company also posted its quarterly 2025 results. In the fourth quarter, Hafnia recorded a net profit of $109.7m, which included $9.5m from gains on vessel sales. As it is reported, the full-year net profit stood at $339.7m.

At the end of the quarter, Hafnia’s fleet consisted of 114 owned vessels and 9 chartered-in vessels.

The group’s total fleet includes 10 LR2s, 32 LR1s (including two bareboat-chartered in and two time-chartered in), 57 MRs of which 12 are IMO II (including seven time-chartered in), and 24 handy vessels of which 18 are IMO II (including one bareboat-chartered in).
