Four of the 52,000 dwt tanker
orders are firm and are scheduled
for delivery to Aegean
Shipping Management in early 2014.
The contracts, which were inked in
September, also provide for two optional
vessels.
According to George Melissanidis,
owner of Aegean Shipping Management,
“this is the latest MR third generation
ECO type design, optimized
through extensive model tests, to have
efficient hull lines and propeller optimized
to achieve a speed of 13.8 knots
and a fuel consumption of 23.1t/day.”
The vessels are able to carry a wide
range of homogeneous and parcel
cargoes, ranging from Crude Oils and
Product Oils to full segregated parcel
cargoes of Chemical Type IMO II.
The cargo piping system is able
of load/discharge seven (7) grades
simultaneously with an independent
cargo pumping and piping system (1-
tank, 1-pump system).
The vessels are to be built to the
highest notations of LR& GL class.
