Some people are better than others at sharing, and TORM seems to be right at the top of the list. After purchasing OMI jointly with Teekay this past spring and splitting the assets, TORM announced this week that it had acquired a 50% equity stake in FR8 from Projector for $125 million. The FR8 Group controls 25 vessels including three LR2 newbuildings for delivery in 2008. It owns six modern product tankers, comprising four MR and two LR1 vessels and has long-term charters on three LR2, four LR1 and 11 MR product tankers, with purchase options on three of these vessels. The group also commercially manages one LR2 vessel and has about 30 staff worldwide in Singapore, London and Veracruz.
