Maersk Tankers sees 28% pool expansion in 2020
Maersk Tankers started 2021 with 21 new pool partners, the company said in its release.
Maersk Tankers global partnerships translated to a 28% jump in the number of vessels under its commercial management in 2020-2021. Most notably, Maersk Tankers saw a promising rise in pool partners from the Middle East and East Asia.
Joint Cargill-Maersk Tankers MR pool has been the main driving force behind the overall expansion, with more owners and vessels expected to join in the coming weeks.
In a first, and ahead of schedule, the MR pool surpassed the 100-vessel mark (a target originally set for 2022). Gotland Carolina, pictured above, is one of its latest entries.
The Maersk Tankers business model hinges on optimizing vessel performance and affording partners maximum value returns, including the ease of flexible entry and exit.
