Laurin Maritime and Anglo-Atlantic team up with Marflet Services
September 13, 2011
Marflet Services, Anglo-Atlantic Steamship Company Limited and Laurin Maritime are
pleased to announce an agreement whereby Anglo-Atlantic Steamship Company Ltd will time
charter Marflet’s five modern IMO II-type vessels for two years. Laurin Maritime has been
appointed to manage the vessels commercially.
Through this co-operation, Laurin Maritime will increase the size of its fleet to 18 MR vessels,
thereby forming one of the largest fleets of fully IMO II capable MR ships in the market. The
fleet will be further expanded in 2012 through the addition of two new-buildings. By working
together, the companies will have a sizeable presence in the market for larger chemical parcels.
Marflet Services, Anglo-Atlantic and Laurin Maritime have similar company values regarding
quality, safety and the environment. The two companies focus on long-term relationships, and
they plan to manage their vessels under a marketing and revenue sharing agreement after the
two years of charter.
