Donsötank Books Tanker Pair at Wuhu Shipyard

Rederi AB Donsötank, Swedish family-owned shipowner, has contracted two oil products and chemical tankers at Chinese Wuhu Shipyard Co. Ltd.

The ice strengthened ships, featuring ice class 1A, will be powered by LNG. In addition, the newbuilds will have shore connection for port operations, prepared for 1000 kWh battery-pack.

“Together we have a long relation in development of newbuildings, with focus on safe transports, working environment and the ecological impact on the environment,” the company said.

The vessels will be commercially managed by Navix Maritime Chartering and are scheduled for delivery in 2021.

The company has five small clean tankers in its fleet, based on the company’s website information.

Based on VesselsValue’s information, Wuhu Shipyard has 21 newbuildings under construction, including 12 Ultramaxes, with deliveries spread across 2019 to 2020.
