The Asian tanker markets are having a big impact on the growth of Maersk Tankers.

Senior executives at the Copenhagen-based company have revealed that around 40% of the ships under its management are trading in the Asia-Pacific region and managed by its Singapore office.

Of the about 150 vessels managed by Maersk Tankers, 136 of between 10,000 dwt and 120,000 dwt are deployed in four pools based on size and segment.
