The tanker company Maersk Tankers will introduce a new chemical tanker pool.
“Maersk Tankers Chemicals” is designed to optimise returns for the partners’ J19 vessels and strengthen the company’s position in the market.
As the subsidiary of the world’s second-largest container shipping company announced on LinkedIn, the new pool offers “a seamless onboarding process and a fair and transparent revenue model”. The start date is 1 October 2024, with no minimum commitment period and flexible redelivery terms. With the chemical tanker pool, Maersk Tankers has access to extensive experience and expertise in the operation of these tankers.
Maersk Tankers expands after acquisition of Penfield
The expansion follows the acquisition of the charterer Penfield Marine, which was completed in January. This move has enabled Maersk Tankers to create a larger crude and product tanker business and enhance its service offering. The combined capacity amounts to a fleet of around 240 vessels.
The J19 classification refers to stainless steel chemical tankers between 19,000 and 22,500 dwt.
