Denmark-based tanker owner and operator Maersk Tankers has increased its managed fleet by more than 20% so far this year following the latest deal signed with Xihe Holdings (Xihe), the 60% holding company for Singapore’s tanker ship owner Xihe Group of Companies.
Maersk Tankers’ managed fleet now stands at more than 220 vessels.

Earlier this month, Maersk Tankers entered into a commercial agreement that sees it take over the running of four product tankers owned by Xihe.
As informed, the new deal is in line with the company’s strategy of building scale through partnerships driven by the use of digitalisation to cut CO2 emissions and boost partner returns.
