Bremen-based German Tanker Shipping (GTS) has returned to Xiamen Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd.(XSI) in China to order two additional MR Tankers.
This brings the number of 46,000 dwt tankers ordered by GTS at Xiamen Shipbuilding to six.
Last year, GTS signed an order for 4+2 vessels with this Chinese shipyard, of which this order is the option vessels.
Furthermore, GTS stated that the first steel cut has already taken place. GTS is expecting delivery of the first vessel within the 03rd quarter of 2025 and continuously subsequent units every 4 months.
The new ships will be state of the art 46,000 DWT medium range chemical and product tankers (IMO II / III), compliant with all future environmental regulations and the latest innovative eco-technology for the next generation of green shipping.
The innovative design, including the patented F-bow shape, is based on a 41,000 DWT design and we are enormously proud of the input and “know how” GTS could contribute based on several decades of commercial tanker shipping. Ship design company FKAB also contributed with all their knowledge and experience, which teamed up very successfully.
