The nascent Concord Maritime aframax pool has built its fleet to nine ships with the addition of its first vessel from Maersk Tankers.

Concord has added the 109,600-dwt Maersk Penguin (built 2007) to the Dakota Tankers pool led by Ben Ognibene, the former Heidmar chief executive.

Ognibene told TradeWinds that the Maersk Penguin will deliver later this month in the Atlantic Basin.
