Norway's Odfjell has no plans to order new chemical tankers for at least two years.

Speaking on a conference call with analysts, chief executive Kristian Morch said the company had just completed the largest fleet renewal programme in its history, through a combination of its own and chartered newbuildings.

The fleet now stands at 91 ships, with four pools in operation, including two formed in the fourth quarter with Navig8 Chemical Tankers and TRF.
