Mikael Skov says the merged Hafnia and BW Tankers will have an eye on growth but will not need to chase deals given the scale created by the transaction.

Skov was confirmed as chief executive of the enlarged Hafnia when a deal to create the world’s third largest product tanker owner was put in place last week.

Should shareholders back the move, Hafnia will have 86 owned vessels and boast further size given its pool presence via Hafnia Management.
