Stolt seeks to dominate
Article Abstract:
Growth expectations in the chemical trade caused ship owners to have tonnage on order, notably in the European and Far Eastern shipyards. The shipowner with the most tonnage on order is Stolt Parcel Tankers, with its three 36,700 dwt ships under construction in the France. Stolt has another ship on order at Danyard that will be delivered later than the scheduled time. China is also gaining recognition in building chemical tankers priced 35%-40% cheaper than that of Europe.
