Crystal Nordic chemical tankers sold to Essberger

Essberger already has a fleet of 23 chemical carriers, to which will be added Crystal Nordic’s fleet of 14 ice-class 1A/1B vessels of between 4,000 dwt and 12,000 dwt formerly operated in the Crystal Pool.

Crystal Nordic was set up in 2015 as a joint venture between Nordic Tankers and Borealis Maritime to operate the two companies’ ice-class tankers, mainly in the Baltic Sea and northwest Europe region.

The sale to “very good owner” John T. Essberger will further “enhance the service and flexibility offered to the customers,” said Per Sylvester Jensen, chairman of Crystal Nordic.
