Connecticut-based pools operator Heidmar is continuing to lose numbers from its tanker pools despite a management change aimed at reversing the trend.
Local neighbor Ridgebury Tankers and London-based Zodiac Maritime are the latest shipowners linked to vessel withdrawals by sources in the tanker market this week.
Ridgebury is said to be pulling three of the eight suezmaxes it has been operating in Heidmar’s Blue Fin pool and switching them to rival commercial manager Navig8.
