Den Hartogh and MOL set up new partnership
The Japan-based unit MOL Chemical Tankers (MOLCT) has acquired a 20% stake in Den Hartogh Holding. After the acquisition, both parties will sign a partnership deal aimed at jointly expanding the transport of liquefied chemical products, via tank containers, parcel chemical tankers, and a tank terminal.
The Dutch company, Den Hartogh Logistics, operates over 19,000 tank containers and also handles 7,000 box containers for the polymer and food industry.
MOLCT deploys a global fleet of about 80 parcel chemical tankers, including those operated by the newly acquired MOL Nordic Tankers. On top of that, the Japanese enterprise has formed a joint venture company aiming to construct and operate a chemical tank terminal in Antwerp (Belgium). (kd)
