Atlas Chemical Tankers
Atlas' strong team of employees secures an experienced and dynamic organization, enabling us to deliver the best possible and confident service to all our Customers. Our market experience places us as an aggressive and potent competitor in the European market, with a wide network of valued Charterers, Brokers and Traders.
Atlas takes aim at having a rather flat organization, where all our employees are an integrated and highly important part of the daily running of the company. We feel that the correct mix between young and aggressive personnel, combined with experienced and well known individuals is a powerful mix. Our company can only evolve as much as our employees – explaining why we invest both money and time into educating and strengthening our human capital base.
