Scrubber manufacturers Clean Marine and Frontline/Navig8-affiliated FMSI were this week poised to sign off on their previously announced merger.
Continuing under the Clean Marine brand, the new outfit's shareholders and managers want to move beyond scrubbers, turning the alliance into a powerhouse provider of sustainable shipping solutions.
Clean Marine founder and chief executive Nils Hoy-Petersen and Navig8 group chairman Gary Brocklesby described the merger as a complementary marriage during TradeWinds' recent visit to the FMSI scrubber factory on the Indonesian island of Batam.
