Stolt Tankers president Lucas Vos urged his fellow chemical tanker owners on Wednesday to show leadership and refrain from imitating "the frenzy we see in containerships".

Fellow shipowners on Capital Link's Maritime Forum Norway supported Vos's view, in addition to concurring with Clarkson Platou Securities' outlook for an upswing for the battered sector.

Vos was among several chief executives of Norwegian chemical tanker owners and managers concerned about "maintaining sector leadership" in the Capital Link.
