Two chemical tanker companies — Turkey's Chemfleet and US-based Sokana Chartering — appear to have boosted their fleets with a homogeneous string of small carriers acquired from London-based Union Maritime.
The 13,100-dwt chemical/oil product tanker Barnet (to be renamed Owl 2, built 2008) would be the last ship of Union Maritime affiliate Hudson Chemical Tankers, a shipowning venture formed by the company's main shareholders — the Cadji and Kansagra families — plus DVB Bank with a 25% shareholding.
