Thai owner Prima Marine has placed an order for six small product tanker newbuilds at China’s Ningbo Zhenhe Shipyard.
The deal with an undisclosed value covers 73-m-long 2,499 dwt vessels based on FKAB design and tailor-developed for easy and efficient operation in Thailand’s coast and rivers. Delivery details have not been divulged.
The newbuilds will feature several energy-saving and environmental solutions implemented into the design, including the low resistance FKAB F-Bow hull form, bio-diesel prepared main engine, shaft generator, and LED lighting.
In addition to domestic trades where Prima Marine operates about 20 small tankers, the company is also active in the aframax and VLCC segments as well as the offshore business via accommodation work barges and anchor handling tugs.
