The integration of Brostrom and Maersk Tankers was ahead of schedule both in terms of time and synergies, Maersk Tankers said this week.

Speaking with ‘TANKEROperator’, CEO Kristian Morch confirmed that once
this had been completed, all the activities in the sector below 25,000
dwt will be handled from Gothenburg, while all the vessels above would
be administered from Copenhagen.

This split includes all vessels operating in the various pools, on management contracts and on timecharter.

He said that it was important to bear in mind that Brostrom’s
Gothenburg operation would be fully integrated into Maersk Tankers,
which includes shared policies and systems etc.
