McKeil Marine becomes the world’s newest tanker owner
Canada has a new tanker owner. Ontario-based McKeil Marine has swooped for a pair of Turkish product tankers to go alongside its fleet of tugs, barges and general cargo ships. Brokers report the Burlington-headquartered 62-year-old company has paid Istanbul-based Transal Denizcilik Ticaret $9m and $8.5m respectively for the two ice class tankers, Topaz-T and Turquoise-T. The acquisition follows hot on the heels of another Canadian owner, Algoma, buying a similar sized product tanker called Ramira.
