Stolt Tankers has beefed up its Asian chemical tanker pool with the addition of Japanese tonnage.

The Stolt-Nielsen company said it had added a vessel from Japan’s SU Navigation to the Stolt NYK Asia Pacific Services (SNAPS) operation it runs in cooperation with NYK Line and ENEOS Ocean Corp.

Stolt Tankers said: “This agreement demonstrates our strategy of pursuing asset-light fleet growth with trusted partners, enhancing both operational efficiency and profitability.”
