Fleet expansion - Offen Tankers

(Aug 28 2009)

The first of the eight Offen Tankers’ newbuilding 52,000 dwt product carriers – ‘CPO Korea’ - is currently on her maiden voyage to Rotterdam with a cargo of palm oil.
‘CPO Korea’ is commercially operated by Glencore’s ST Shipping pool. Three more sisters are due to be delivered from Hyundai Mipo next year with the next four scheduled for 2011.
This vessel represents the first in the second batch of newbuildings for CP Offen's tanker arm.
The first tranche of eight 36,000 dwt ice class vessels already in service was chartered to Brostrom for operation in the Handytankers pool, managed by Maersk Tankers.
