The challenge comes, he says in the company’s in-house magazine, in “successfully integrating the operation”.
In July, Stolt-Nielsen announced the $575m deal to acquire its rival’s chemical tankers business, taking over 13 trading ships and an interest in eight newbuildings that form part of a joint venture with Tokyo Marine.
He says that under the leadership of Mark Martecchini, president of Stolt Tankers, and Paolo Enoizi, managing director of Stolt-Nielsen Shipowning, he is confident the company will succeed in integrating the operations.
