Boutique finance firm FDX Offshore buys out Womar
The acquisition, for an unspecified sum, aims to build the best independent pool operator in the shipping industry. It will both expand Womar’s chemical tanker pools as well as initiate and grow independent pools in other segments
Chief executive officer Hans van der Zijde alluded to the fact that the move was partially driven by the sale of its partner BW Group’s chemical tanker fleet earlier this year
