Stena Bulk Takes Over Stena Weco

Stena Bulk Stena Bulk has agreed to purchase the remaining 50% of the shares in Stena Weco from its partner WECO Shipping. Stena Weco will thus be wholly owned by Stena Bulk. Stena Weco’s head office will remain as it is today in Denmark in addition to the regional offices in Singapore, Dubai and Houston. Within the agreement between Stena Bulk and Weco, WECO Shipping will continue to run their controlled fleet in the Stena Weco logistic system.

With the agreement now reached, which means that Stena Weco will be 100% owned by Stena Bulk, this situation has now been solved in a way that benefits both parties”, says Erik Hånell, President and CEO of Stena Bulk and CEO of Stena Weco. ”We are proud to have been part of the successful Stena Weco journey and very pleased that we have been able to reach the perfect solution for both partners in Stena Weco, also for the future”, adds Johan Wedell-Wedellsborg, Chairman of the Board of WECO Shipping.
