After the acquisition of Altera Shuttle Tankers L.L.C. by Maistros Shiptrade Limited on January 16, 2025, Altera Shuttle Tankers L.L.C. (AST) has changed name to Maran Shuttle Tankers L.L.C.
A filing on the Euronext Oslo Børs revealed on Tuesday that Altera Shuttle Tankers L.L.C. has changed name to Maran Shuttle Tankers L.L.C. with effective date on and from 17 February 2025.
Angelicoussis Group affiliate Maistros Shiptrade Limited made a major deal last year to take over Altera Shuttle Tankers for an undisclosed sum in a major move into the sector.
Maistros Shiptrade Limited is a company affiliated with the Greek Angelicoussis Group, a large privately owned shipping group, with 144 vessels on the water and 23 vessels (including three shuttle tankers) on order.
Through Athens-based companies, Maran Tankers Management, Maran Gas Maritime and Maran Dry Management, the Group operates a diversified fleet serving the oil, gas and dry cargo markets.
“AST’s long-standing relationships and highly sophisticated fleet of tankers, combined with a common culture of excellence and commitment to a sustainable future, mean that together, AST and our Group are firmly positioned to offer best-in-class services to clients across the expanding shuttle tanker market,” said Maria Angelicoussis, CEO of the Angelicoussis Group.
