Turkey’s Besiktas Group has widened its already impressive tanker acquisition spree with yet another buy that brings the size of its managed fleet of crude, product, chemical and gas carriers to 32 ships.
The company’s chief executive Yavuz Kalkavan told TradeWinds in an interview in the summer of 2022 that he started seeing a story in tankers again and that he would invest in smaller chemical ships and MRs.
