Silver Fern Shipping

After Coastal Tankers bought Howard Smith Shipping (NZ) in 1996, it was renamed Silver Fern Tankers and then Silver Fern Shipping, or SFSL. The second rename is dated 1997 in one register account and 1996 in another. A reverse takeover made Silver Fern the owner of Coastal Tankers in 2000. ASP acquired Silver Fern in 2007; it apparently took over Coastal Tankers’ tanker operations after the latter’s 2008 liquidation. Coastal Oil Logistics scheduled the two tankers time-chartered from Silver Fern for the New Zealand coast, alongside imports arranged by the four major oil companies.

New Zealand, Wellington.
