Shipping pool

A shipping pool is a group of similar merchant vessels that are grouped together for administrative purposes. Their earnings are pooled and distributed to the vessel owners according to a prearranged agreement.[1][2]

Shipping pools
  • A/S Bulkhandling (established during the 1960s)[3]
  • NOROBO (established 1984)[4]
  • NPC/Norwegian Pipecarriers (established 1989)[5]

Shipping pools in various ship types

Shipping pools are very popular among tanker vessels but not so much in dry bulk vessels. [6]
