Maersk Tankers, Maersk's tanker operating company, has revealed that it will launch a new chemical tanker pool on 1 October to expand its services and strengthen its market position.
The new pool, called Maersk Tankers Chemicals, is designed to leverage Maersk Tankers' extensive experience and expertise in chemical tanker operations to maximise returns for its partner J19s, which are typically stainless steel chemical tankers in the 19,000 to 22,500 DWT range.
Maersk Tankers said on social media, ‘The new chemical pool has no minimum commitment period and offers flexible re-acceptance periods, ensuring a seamless on-boarding process as well as a fair and transparent profitability model.’
The expansion comes after Maersk Tankers completed the acquisition of US company Penfield Marine in January. This strategic move enables Maersk Tankers to build a larger crude and product tanker company that enhances the services it offers to its joint partners and cargo customers.
The newly merged entity manages a large fleet of about 240 vessels, including about 45 vessels owned by affiliates.Penfield Marine was established in 2012 as a pool operator whose pools include Panamax/LR1 tankers, Aframax/LR2 tankers and Suezmax tankers.
