Norwegian chemical tanker company Hansa Tankers continues to expand with the purchase of another Japanese-controlled vessel.

CEO of the Bergen-based company, Hans Solberg, confirmed that the owner has bought Yuyo Steamship's 33,000-dwt stainless steel tanker Bow Tone (built 2009).

The ship is now coming off a 10 year timecharter to another Norwegian owner, Odfjell.
