The vessel is expected to commence trading in Canada by mid-April.

Algoma president and CEO Gregg Ruhl said: “I am pleased to say that our fleet is fully booked for the season.

“The Algoterra is the second product tanker acquired by ATL in the last four months after the Algonorth joined the fleet in early December. We are looking forward to bringing the Algoterra home and to having the Algonorth operate for her first full season with Algoma.”
