GSB Tankers and Asahi Tanker have jointly established the Asia Chemical Tanker Alliance (ACTA) to manage the operation and commercial management of chemical tankers ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 dwt. ACTA is headquartered in Singapore, with an additional office in Tokyo. Initially, the joint venture will manage four chemical tankers with the aim of expanding to 10 chemical tankers within the next two years.
Philip Eriksson, managing director of GSB Tankers, said: “This collaboration not only strengthens our position within the industry but also allows us to deepen our involvement in a market we believe holds significant potential for the future.”
GSB Tankers, which stands for Golden Stena Baycrest Tankers, is a joint venture between Golden Agri-Resources, Stena Bulk and Bay Crest Management.
