Ridgebury Tankers Becomes New Blue Fin’s Pool Member

Heidmar announced a new pool member and a new Suezmax to its expanding Blue Fin Tankers pool. Connecticut-based Ridgebury Tankers Ltd has committed its 2013 newbuilding, “Ridgebury Lessley B”, to the Blue Fin Tankers fleet. The ship will deliver to the pool in early October this year. Ridgebury Tankers becomes Blue Fin’s 10th pool member and the delivery of the “Ridgebury Lessley B” brings the number of Suezmax ships under the Blue Fin banner to 19.

Speaking about the new arrivals Heidmar’s Blue Fin Tankers Pool MD Mr. Peter Bell, said; “We are very pleased to welcome Ridgebury Tankers to the Blue Fin family and we are gratified that they have placed their confidence in the Heidmar Blue Fin team. We look forward to a long and successful relationship between the companies.”

Commenting on his company’s entry into the Blue Fin pool, Ridgebury Tankers’ CEO and President Mr. Robert Burke said; “Heidmar was an early and consistent supporter of Ridgebury so we are particularly pleased to have our first vessel, the “Ridgebury Lessley B”, become the latest member of Blue Fin. Based upon the trading results of Blue Fin as well as the transparency and management style of the Heidmar pools, we believe that Blue Fin is the best fit for Ridgebury.”
