The GSB J19 chemical tanker pool has grown to nine vessels with the addition of a pair of Dubai-based Lila Global’s chemical tankers.

Shinsuke Togawa, managing director of Singapore-based Golden Stena Baycrest Tankers (GSB Tankers), revealed that the 19,900-dwt stainless steel chemical tankers Lila Ace and Lila Confidence (both built 2006) entered the pool at the end of December last year.
