Nordic American Tankers (NAT) CEO Herbjorn Hansson remains on the look-out for additions to the fleet as he forecasts strong tanker markets lasting into 2016.

The boss of the US-listed suezmax specialist said fleet and demand growth in 2016 look “well-balanced”, setting the tone for what should be a healthy sector.

“We expect that the fourth quarter 2015 will be good as we approach a strong winter market,” he added.
