21 June 2014

Dear Customers and Brokers,



Following the development of the participating partners’ fleets in the Nova Tankers Pool, the partners have agreed for Nova Tankers to cease to do business as of 30th June.

Consequently, the partners are to provide their own services going forward; chartering of MOL and Phoenix Tankers vessels will be handled by Phoenix Tankers, and for the Samco spot trading fleet this will be handled by Samco.

Apart from above, Nova Tankers will continue handling ongoing voyages and Maersk Tankers, on behalf of Nova Tankers, will assume the responsibility of collecting outstanding claims.
