Stena Bulk of Sweden is expanding its co-operation with Almi Tankers of Greece.

It is taking on another suezmax on a one year charter for the Stena Sonangol pool, but the company denies additional tonnage has also been secured from the Greek owner.

Stena Bulk managing director Erik Hanell confirmed that the 158,000-dwt Almi Galaxy (built 2012) has been chartered for a year.
