The private Scorpio Group is continuing to build numbers in its pooling operations with the first time addition of a Greek shipowner.

Kondinave has elected to place the 112,700-dwt Leo (built 2010) into Scorpio's LR2 pool, pushing the fleet to 49 units.

It is the pool's first addition since it grew to 48 in January by adding two tankers from India's Great Eastern Shipping.
