Norwegian financial shipowner Harald Moraeus-Hanssen has revealed a series of fresh and previously undisclosed acquisitions, including tanker newbuildings.

The former Fearnley Securities boss is in the midst of rebalancing the portfolio of his Uthalden Maritime from container shipping to offshore.

The deals include two previously unreported stainless-steel chemical carriers at Japan’s Fukuoka Shipbuilding plus further secondhand purchases in offshore support.
