Scorpio Group pools take in four more tankers from three shipowners

The private Scorpio Group is continuing to fatten numbers in its product tanker pools with the addition of four ships from Eastern Pacific Shipping, Shipping Corp of India (SCI) and Naviera Elcano of Spain.

Naviera Elcano is contributing two product carriers to Scorpio's Handy Plus Pool (HPP), which was established for handymax tankers 15 years and older: the 33,800-dwt Castillo de Monterreal (built 2002) and 30,600-dwt Castillo de Trujillo (built 2004).
