Donsötank books one more LNG dual-fuel tanker at Wuhu Shipyard

Swedish tanker shipping company Donsötank has booked one more liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel oil and chemical tanker at Chinese Wuhu Shipyard.

As informed, the 22,500 dwt vessel will join the company’s fleet in the middle of 2027. This will be the fifth sister ship, joining Prospero and Pacifico and the two vessels currently under construction.

In June last year, the Swedish shipowner placed an order for two dual-fuel 22,500 dwt oil and chemical tankers at Wuhu Shipyard.

The new vessel, like its sister ships, will feature a 500 kWh battery pack, shore power connection, SCR-Catamiser, and a waste heat recovery system.

It will be 167 meters long, with a beam of 26.5 meters and a draft of 9.4 meters. Cargo tanks will be coated to safely load a wide range of cargoes including bioproducts, biofuels, animal fats, and other upcoming commodities in the industry.

“This new vessel is a continued step in our vision to achieve the best possible outcome for our customers, with the least possible impact on the environment,” Donsötank noted.

The company’s vessels Prospero and Pacifico were ordered back in 2018.  The plugin hybrid electrical tankers duo was delivered in 2021.
