Baumarine by Maruklav pool continues expansion with another Japanese addition

A joint venture pool by Torvald Klaveness and Marubeni has welcomed another Japanese owner as its expansion continues.

Baumarine by Maruklav, the world's biggest panamax operator, said Shoei Kisen has contributed its 85,000-dwt Nadeshiko (built 2016), bringing the number of vessels to around 30.

Shoei Kisen is the ownership arm of Japan's Imabari Shipbuilding.

"With their strong history and background they will contribute to an even closer working relationship between owners in the pool," the Maruklav joint venture said.
