Morten Pilnov, who is 33 years old and trained at the Maersk shipping school, has tried most sides of a special discipline within the shipping industry. To manage and optimise a pool of shipping companies from different parts of the world which is reflected in the different shipping companies’ history, traditions and cultures.

A pool of about 50 ships at the end of the year with an average age of 3 years equivalent to eight to ten per cent of the global market. A little more than the other major VLCC pool, Tankers International, which Maersk Tankers started in 200 but withdrawed from four years later.
