British tanker management

Anglo-Saxon became Shell Tankers Ltd. in 1953. Asiatic Petroleum, formed in 1903, is described as becoming Shell Petroleum in 1946, although World Tanker Fleets calls the latter a new company. Shell Tankers became Shell International Marine on 1 January 1964 for chartering and advice, with fleet ownership and management passing to Shell Tankers (U.K.). The latter’s register lineage runs through Eagle Oil Transport, formed in 1912, and Eagle Oil & Shipping, renamed in 1950, to the Shell name in 1962; another account dates Shell’s acquisition and full control to 1959–60. Shell International Marine acquired Dovey Shipping in 1971. Shell International Shipping was formed in 1994 and renamed Shell International Trading & Shipping (STASCO) in 1995.
