Stena Bulk and the Angolan oil company Sonangol have added a pair of modern tankers to the Stena Sonangol Suezmax pool.
"These tankers will be added to the pool, which is fully controlled by Stena Bulk and Sonangol," said Ulf G. Ryder, CEO and President of Stena Bulk. "The pool now has a total of 18 tankers and there will be 30 tankers at mid-2012 as our ultramodern newbuildings continue to be delivered."
'Mare Doricum' and 'Mare Picenum', both 158,000DWT Suezmax tankers, were built at Samsung Shipyard in South Korea in 2009. The owner is Italian shipping company Fratelli d'Amico Amatori, which owns and operates a fleet of 11 crude oil tankers. Stena Bulk has already chartered three Aframax tankers (110,000DWT) from Fratelli d'Amico Armatori.
