Nordic Tankers and V.Group plan to create a new ship management company aimed specifically at the chemical tanker market.
The new company, Dania Ship Management, "will support future delivery of quality management to vessels and enable a robust response to the increasing demand towards ship management in this highly specialised sector."
Dania will be incorporated in line with the Danish Tonnage Scheme provisions to offer a local ship management with access to V.Group’s specialist global ship management capabilities and experience in the operations of chemical and other vessels.
Nordic's chief operating officer Carsten Brix Ostenfeldt will be managing director of the new company, which will be based out of Nordic Tankers' Copenhagen-based office.
Per Sylvester Jensen, chief executive officer Nordic Tankers Trading, said the combination of Nordic Tankers' local market knowledge and V.Group’s global expertise means Dania "will be in a strong position to proactively respond to the increasing requirements of the international shipping sector.
"Dania Ship Management will have access to V.Group’s specialist skills within their group portfolio, including extensive investment in IT platforms, which is an important requirement in the digitalization of our industry,” Jensen said.
