Easterly Asset Management distribution global head and managing director Michael Collins said: “The new MLEP acquisitions show the appeal of our focus on benefitting from the substantial dislocations and opportunities in international shipping markets by acquiring chemical tankers.

“We have already seen with our first seven ships that the demand for such tankers has the potential to generate a high level of income for investors, and we continue to seek new investment opportunities in the shipping sector.”

Previous to this acquisition, MLEP already owned seven stainless steel and coated tankers.

These tankers are Easterly Hawk, Easterly Osprey, Easterly Falcon, Easterly AS Omaria, Easterly AS Olivia, Easterly Beech Galaxy and Easterly Lime Galaxy.

Established in September 2021, MLEP is focused on the acquisition of maritime shipping assets.
