The Scorpio Group continues to build its consolidation efforts in the clean products sector with the addition of four tankers from the chartered fleet of Mercantile & Maritime Trading.
The entry of four handysize vessels from the Singapore-based trader and tanker operator brings the Scorpio Handy Tanker Pool to 40 units, said pools director Ugo Romano.
"We are particularly pleased to have found synergies with Mercantile & Maritime as it validates the advantages of our pool model for shipowners, ship operators as well as for oil traders," Romano told TradeWinds.
