Tanker company Hafnia and commodity trading firm Mercuria are set to a combined pool managing Panamax tankers jointly.

The Hafnia Panamax Pool will consist of 10 vessels with an average age of 13 years, and will launch in March, Hafnia said in a statement on its website.

The partnership aims to capitalise jointly on the expertise and resources of the two firms.

"As charterers ourselves, we have noticed a deficit of modern tonnage in this segment, and we are delighted to team up with industry-leading tanker owner and pool operator Hafnia in our efforts to service this need," Larry Johnson, global head of freight and shipping at Mercuria, said in the statement.
