Pools player Navig8 Group has expanded its eco MR operation further in a deal with Norwegian owner DSD Shipping.

The group said it was “delighted” to take over the commercial running of the 50,000-dwt Stavanger Pioneer (built 2019) and Stavanger Poseidon (built 2020) through its Eco MR Pool.

Both ships were handed over in December, bringing the total number of tankers in the pool to 13.
