Bona Shipholding

Teekay Fulmar in 2003 confirms adoption of Teekay’s livery.

Bona was established for Leif Höegh’s combined-carrier and tanker activities in response to US oil-pollution legislation. Sources date formation to 1992 or 1993. It took control of Smedvig Tankships in October 1995 and amalgamated with it in 1996 without changing its name. Höegh reduced its holding in July 1997, and Teekay Shipping (Canada) bought the company on 29 March 1999.

The company appears to have ceased in 2005 as ships passed to new Teekay owning companies. “Bona” names had already given way after the takeover to names ending “Spirit” or beginning “Teekay”.
