“In the current market it’s crucial to find reliable and well positioned partners.

“Our vessels fit very well with Thorco Projects’ needs and commercially it’s a great advantage for us to be a part of Thorco Projects platform, so in many ways it’s a very good match.”

The company began working to form the new pool in November last year, with further parties expected to join in future.
