Scorpio Tankers is based in Monaco with major executive offices in New York.

The company was founded in 2009 by Emanuele A.Lauro, the 24-year-old grandson of the Italian businessman Glauco Lolli-Ghetti who laid the foundation of Scorpio Ship Management in New York in 1976.

A publicly-listed enterprise, it actively trades on the New York trade exchange under the STNG ticker. In 2017, Scorpio tankers signed a merger agreement with Navig 8 product tankers and acquired the latter’s 27 newly-built LR tankers. As a result, it emerged as the biggest product tanker company on the US Securities Exchange.

The company owns and operates 130 crude oil tankers and 10 chartered ships. Recently, 4 newly-constructed tankers with a low carbon footprint were added to the fleet.
