The VLCCs will be used by Bahri\u2019s oil transport business to transport crude oil cargoes to its customers. The national shipping company is partly owned by the Public Investment Fund (Saudi\u2019s sovereign wealth fund) and oil giant Aramco.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ironing out the details: <\/strong>Capital Maritime and Trading Corporation will deliver the VLCCs to Bahri in multiple batches before the end of 1Q 2025. The Saudi firm will pay 10% of the total amount upon signing the purchase agreement, while the remaining 90% will be paid upon delivery of the vessels.

The average deadweight tonnage of each VLCC is around 311.5k.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>Bahri says that the agreement will contribute to its fleet modernization plans, and will enable the company to phase out its older vessels.
