George Economou’s TMS Group has signed a major deal with South Korean equipment company Panasia to acquire scrubber systems for its fleet.
Under the agreement, Panasia will supply its PaSOx De-Sox scrubber systems to a total of 53 vessels owned by TMS Tankers and TMS Bulkers. The total value of the contract is KRW75bn ($67m).
