2006 Nordic Tankers acquires a new LR 1 ship from Torm for delivery in May 2006. This ship was under the name Nordic Tankers Lisbeth incorporated into Torm’s LR 1 pool.

Nordic Tankers sets up a jointly controlled undertaking, Nordic Seaarland Tankers B.V., in conjunction with the Netherlands based Seaarland Shipping Management B.V., which is owned by the Italian shipping group, Zachello Group. In conjunction with the setting up of Nordic Seaarland Tankers B.V., two handy size product tankers were acquired by Seaarland Shipping Management B.V. in which the company and Marco Polo Seatrade B.V. (part of the Zachello Group) received an indirect holding of 75% and 25% respectively. Seaarland Shipping Management B.V. is responsible for the commercial and technical management of the vessels via its subsidiary Delfman Shipping B.V. The ships are in the handysize pool operated by Maersk Tankers.

In December 2006 Nordic Seaarland Tankers B.V. orders another two handysize vessels for delivery in 2009. They are also expected to join the handysize pool. Nordic Tankers has an indirect 50% holding in these newbuildings.

2005 Nordic Tankers acquires a 50% share in another two chemical tankers with Eitzen Chemical. The Eitzen Chemical City Class Pool (“City Class Pool”) was set up with Eitzen Chemical and Brøvig Tank AS. Nordic Tankers selected Eitzen Chemical to be in charge of the vessels’ commercial management, while technical management was handled by EMS Ship Management.
2004 The charter company of Nordic Tankers exercised its option to acquire the two LR1 product tankers and ownership was then transferred from K/S Difko XLVII (47) to Nordic Tankers, which in turn is wholly owned by K/S Difko XLVII (47). Nordic Tankers also acquired a 50% share in a chemical tanker. The other half is held by the listed company of Camillo Eitzen ASA (now separated off into Eitzen Chemical ASA), which is also responsible for the commercial management of the ship.
2002 Nordic Tankers acquires its first dry bulk vessels by taking an 80% share in two multi purpose vessels in the Dawn pool operated by Clipper Elite Carriers. The Clipper Group owned the remaining 20% of the two vessels. T&C A/S (now CEC Ship Management A/S) was responsible for technical management.
2000 K/S Difko XLVII (47) buys the company of Nordic Shipping I/S (now Nordic Tankers A/S). Agreements were entered into with A/S Dampskibsselskabet Torm on commercial management of the vessels as well as an agreement on technical management of the vessels with TESMA Holding AS (EMS Ship Management (Norge) AS).
1984 Nordic Tankers has its roots in the limited partnership company of K/S Difko XLVII (47), which was established in 1984 when three product tanker newbuilds were ordered for delivery in 1986 and 1987.
