The business will continue under the NPC name, and become an independent division supplementing the Rickmers-Linie segment within the Rickmers Group. Under the new arrangement, NPC will operate a multi-purpose, heavy-lift fleet worldwide, in the size range between 8,000 and 21,000 deadweight tons, with lifting capacity of up to 500 metric tons. The core fleet will be made up of Nordana’s 12,000-dwt heavy-lift vessels, and will include Thai-flag ships. NPC will be managed by Lars Steen Rasmussen in Copenhagen, and Torben Reinhard in Bangkok.
