The Board of Tufton Oceanic Assets Limited (ticker: SHIP.L) is pleased to announce that the Company has divested three General Cargo vessels for $19.3m. The divestment reduces the Company's fleet from seventeen to fourteen vessels.

This is the Company's first divestment. The Company expects to redeploy the proceeds over the next few months. Whilst the Company aims to hold its investments over the longer term, we will sell investments where this generates additional value for shareholders.
