The Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool, a joint venture between the Angolan national oil company Sonangol and shipping company Stena Bulk, has expanded its fleet in Angola with the addition of a new oil tanker. The vessel, Aura M, owned by ship management company Hammonia Reederei, has a capacity of 156,000 metric tons, bringing the total number of vessels in the Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool to 20.
Johan Jawert, Co-Pool Manager of the Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool and Head of Stena Bulk USA, stated, “This new membership and the addition of Aura M further underscore the pool’s status as a viable Suezmax pool option, now with four Suezmax owners as members.”
This membership marks the first deal between the Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool and Hammonia Reederei. Dr. Karsten Liebing, Managing Partner at Hammonia Reederei, expressed optimism about future collaborations between the two companies.
