Asashi Tanker and MOL pooling resources
MOL
The Japanese carrier MOL and Asahi Tanker have signed a contract to establish a pool operation company named Asahi MOL Tankers, and inked an agreement to launch MR-type product tankers that will be assigned to the new pool.
MR stands for medium range and refers to product tankers in the 45,000-55,000 dwt class. This ship type can transport a variety of petroleum products such as gasoline, naphtha, gas oil, and jet fuel.
The new pool will own a fleet of about 25 vessels and allocate them mainly to Asia and Oceania from three centres in Tokyo, Singapore and London. (kd)
