It's interesting that Scorpio Tankers are buying now. 5 year old LR1 tanker values have been pretty flat since mid January 2017. Here is Vessels Value's Fixed Age market value for a 5 year old LR1 vessel over the last 5 years:
Navig8 Product Tankers owned 10 of the vessels involved in this deal, a mix of LR1 and LR2 tankers. They are worth a total of 362.52 million USD today.
The other 17 involved in the deal are chartered in on bare boat from CSSC Shipping, China Merchants Bank, Bank of Communications and Ocean Yield ASA. These 17 vessels have a market value today of 661.64 million USD. Scorpio are going to take over the charter contract for these vessels, with the possibility of buying them once the charter is over.
