Broström and its partner Erik Thun has entered into agreements to acquire the two 7,100 DWT chemical and oil product tankers Marisp and Mareld, built 2003 and 2004 respectively. The delivery of the vessels is going to take place during the period mid August to mid September. Both vessels have been commercially operated by Broström for over two years under the ownership of Rederi AB Väderötank. Broström and Erik Thun will own 50% in each vessel.
One particular segment in Broström’s logistics services is smaller (5,000–10,000 DWT) product tankers operating in North European waters. The present fleet contains 12 such vessels, including the Marisp and the Mareld. In addition to the existing fleet there are another two newbuildings ordered in a joint venture with Erik Thun, bringing the total number of vessels in the segment up to 14 within the next two years.
