Under the agreement, an- nounced by David Steel, chair- man of BPTC, and Dr. Manuchehr Eghbal, chairman and general managing director of NITC, BPTC has sold three VLCCs (built in 1971 and 1972) and two product carriers (built in 1974) for about $60.5 million to NITC. The vessels will be handed over between June and September, and will be regis- tered under the Iranian flag. BPTC will place in the joint fleet five matching ships under the British flag. All 10 vessels will be "demise chartered" into a joint organiza- tion, the Irano-British Shipping Co. Ltd., and managed by an Iranian jointly held company. The entire venture is based on 50-50 participation by BPTC and NITC.
