Broström agreed in 1995 to acquire Erik Thun’s shares and the Källson family’s United Tankers shares, making United Tankers a subsidiary that December. Sale of its Nordic Tank holding brought Van Ommeren into Broström’s shareholding. Acquisition of Van Ommeren Tankers and 40% of Iver Ships in 1998 made Van Ommeren the largest shareholder, and the parent became Broström Van Ommeren Shipping, or Brovo. A new Erik Thun partnership followed in 1999. In 2000 the parent became Broström A/B, United Tankers and Van Ommeren Tankers became Broström Tankers A/B and SAS, and Van Ommeren Iver Ships became Iver Ships. Royal Vopak sold its Broström shares in 2002. Broström raised its Iver holding to 50% in 2003 and bought the remainder effective May 2005, allowing Vroon to use the Iver brand from January 2006. Nordtank was acquired in 2005, with Furetank co-operation, and renamed Broström Tankers Denmark that October.
