From the 1950s the company’s focus shifted towards the chemical tanker industry, and JO Tankers ultimately grew to be the world’s third-largest operator of advanced chemical tanker vessels.
Long history
In 2016 JO Tankers was sold to Stolt Nielsen, which marked the end of a hundred years of industrial shipping and the beginning of a new one hundred years as a diversified investment company.
