Maersk Goes Back to Tankers
Maersk Tankers has ordered nine medium-range tankers, underlining its commitment to the tanker business. Maersk Tanker placed the $300 million order for the vessels, which will be able to carry refined products such as gasoline and diesel, from Samsung Heavy Industries’ Ningbo shipyard in China. "The investment … is a clear indication of Maersk Tankers commitment to remain at the very top of the product tanker industry," the shipping company said in a statement. Maersk Tankers last year stopped transporting crude oil when it sold its 15 supertankers, known as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), to Belgium’s Euronav.Posted On:24-Sep-2015
