The 6240 dwt MT Rekon built 2013 at Selay Shipyard will join Atlantis Tankers’ fleet. The vessel is owned by two partners: German national Seyfullah Inan and Turkish national Metin Çağdaş and is their company’s only ship. They have agreed to give their chemical tanker into our full management services, including the management of their investments and company.
Before joining Atlantis, MT Rekon was under bareboat charter for 3 years with Navoil in Singapore, which went into liquidation in November 2016.
“The vessel fits perfectly into the Atlantis Tankers fleet portfolio” Lorenz Weinstabl stated during an internal meeting for the coordination of works to be done, signing the contract on the 20.01.2017.
The MarineLine coated tanker is making its way back from the Far East to the Mediterranean. After inspection and repairs, the Maltese flagged vessel will begin trading.

It will neither be quick nor will it be easy, however as “Maritime Partners in Safety” at SHELL we from the Atlantis Tankers’ management arm ARMONA are at dawn of a new era.
After a year that confounded the expectations of the gloomiest professional optimists, and despite the glib forecasts of a brighter future for our shipping business, we have mastered to conquer a sequence of milestones many would have believed were out of reach.
However, the current story is one of two grandeur days that our CEO experienced [pictured with Dave Bourbon, Shell’s conference facililator] at the 2017 Partners in Safety Maritime CEO Conference in London on January 12 and 13, 2017, with the ultimate goal of a creating and maintaining a Zero Incident Industry. Thanks to intense efforts and investments by SHELL, all Maritime Partners have identified three clear actions: Leadership Visits to our vessels, Reflective Learning training sessions on board and ashore as well as roll-out of the Learning Engagement Tool. Fundamental is the Care for People approach, expressed in Resilience modules which all of you will be introduced to. These tools allow us to transmit the message to all our ships and shore members. Our mission is to look into the eyes of the fathers and mothers, the spouse and children of our seafarers and proudly say that their beloved son or daughter, father or mother, husband or wife is working in the safest place in the world. To achieve this, the Conference Members identified three key success factors:
- Visible & inspirational leadership by the top manager
- Passionate & engaged facilitator(s)
- Relevant material
Well done to SHELL and the drivers of the Focus Group!

Atlantis Tankers has purchased two small-sized chemical tankers from the Greek-owned Restis Company. The Ionian Trader and Lydian Trader. Both are sister-ships in the size of 5500 dwt, with Marine-Line tank-coatings and built in 2008.
The vessels were built by Turkish KGS, a joint venture (JV) between Ares Tankers and Galatasaray Holding at Celik Tekne Shipyard with the intention of selling all six of the sister-ships to another 50-50 JV between Mowinckels and Ares. After delivering the first four vessels: Lycian, Ionian, Lydian and Hada, Mowinckels’ appetite for the remaining two became obsolete due to the Lehmann-crisis. Thus the fifth and sixth ship remained with KGS and are managed by Ares Tankers Management as RC Behar and Hitra.
The four joint venture ships were financed by a consortium of Nordea and Deutsche Bank. The JV ran into financial problems which brought the Norwegian/Turkish partnership to separate, leaving the ships with Mowinckels Rederi. The lenders sought new buyers and sold all four vessels in 2012. The first chem-tank duo was sold to Borealis Maritime, the ships were renamed Bomar Pluto and Bomar Ceres. The other two, Lydian and Ionian were sold to Restis’ company: Enterprises Shipping & Trading.
Bomar Pluto and Bomar Ceres were under the technical management of Armona Denizcilik (the management arm of Atlantis Tankers) for 3 years. The ship and shore staff are very familiar with the vessels and know the quality of the design. The tankers meet the high quality standards of Atlantis Tankers.
Currently the Ionian and Lydian Trader are on T/C to Uni-Chartering. The handover of the vessels is expected to take place in the next 45 days to one safe berth in the ARA; free of cargo and free of slops. The duo will be taken under the technical & crewing management of Armona Denizcilik, and will be commercially managed by Atlantis Tankers.
The Ionian Trader will be renamed: Atlantis Arki, and the Lydian Trader will be renamed: Atlantis Araceli.
Lastly, the two new-buildings: Atlantis Augusta and Atlantis Alicante will be delivered by early 2017. Consequently, the German-owned company will experience a fleet-growth of 50%. The fleet is not only expanding, it is also becoming younger, as the average fleet age will fall from 10.25 to 8.33 years by next year.

During December we expect the hull of Atlantis Alicante to be finalized and the ballast tank coatings to commence. The superstructure is completed and will be fitted to the hull after launching which is also planned for December, or in terms of shipping, if all goes well. Engine Room outfitting has started, main deck piping is almost completed.

The Atlantis Armona was en route to Huelva when at 13:50 GMT+1 a refugee boat was spotted 15 nautical miles from the shore-line. At 14:05 GMT+1 the Master of the Armona informed the Spanish coast guard of the position and situation of the sighted vessel.
Upon receiving the notice, the coastguard (Salvamento Marítimo) sent a helicopter and rescue boat to specified position. It was a dinghy carrying 15 people of African origin. In total the coastguard saved 83 refugees from 4 dinghies that day. All of them were rescued and safely brought to shore.
Pictured is the tweet from Salvamento Marítimo’s official Twitter account thanking the Atlantis Armona for having communicated with the authorities.
