Concluded the largest fleet renewal program in the history of the company - Strong safety and operational performance despite challenging circumstances
CEO Kristian Mørch Stated;
“4Q20 concluded a year with challenging circumstances, but despite the pandemic we have delivered stronger results and performed on important operational and safety measures. We have concluded the largest fleet renewal program in our history and taken important steps to further streamlining our terminal division. We are fully prepared to take advantage of strong underlying fundamentals in our markets once Covid-19 reduces its impact on the global economy. 2021 has started with a continued weak CPP market and high fuel cost, so although rates in chemicals remain stable, we expect to report a weaker 1Q21”
