Maritime Asset Partners has emerged as the company behind Teekay Tankers' sale-and-leaseback deal for six modern aframaxes announced earlier this month.
Chairman Axel Stove Lorentzen confirmed Maritime Asset's role in the transaction, which means the finance company that was set up last year has now surpassed $100m in capital deployed.
“We are pleased that MAP [Maritime Asset Partners] has surpassed the milestone in what has been a challenging environment for the finance markets in the maritime industry,” Lorentzen said.
