Erria og Uni Tankers agree to merge
SHIPPING: The Danish listed Erria and the private owned Uni Tankers have agreed in principle to merge the companies' tanker operations into a jointly owned company with Uni Tankers owner USTC as the majority shareholder.
The continuing company will have a fleet of 16 chemical and product tankers sizing between 4,000 and 30,000 DWT.
Erria's other activities in technical management and consulting will be further developed in the continuing stock listed Erria.
The final plans are expected to be presented at a general meeting in Erria in mid September.
Erria sees great synergies by merging the two attractive small carriers and thereby create a Danish-owned tanker company with critical mass.
