Union Marine Management Services breaks into the tanker sector

Vinay Gupta-led Union Marine Management Services (UMMS) has broken into the tanker segment in its 13th year of existence. 

The Singapore shipmanager is taking on two chemical tankers from Flyte Logistics to go alongside the more than 80 bulk carriers on its books. 

“We are planning to build up and grow this segment for having the right scale to develop a crew pool and bring in talent for providing high quality service to our clients,” Gupta told Splash. 

After eight years at sea, Gupta worked ashore with Fleet Management for eight years before founding UMMS in April 2012.
