Recently, Wuhu Shipyard Weihai Base held a steel cutting ceremony for the second vessel in the series of 50,000 DWT MR tankers, which is being built for an UAE owner.
This 50,000 DWT MR tanker, which commenced construction this time, has demonstrated excellent performance in terms of design and technical specifications.
The vessel has a length of 182.75m, a beam of 32.2m, a depth of 19.1m and a designed deadweight of 49,890 tons. The cargo tanks are particularly unique in design, with 12 cargo oil tanks and 2 oil and slop tanks, all of which are specially coated to ensure the safe and efficient loading of refined oil products and chemical liquids.
It is reported that the project includes a total of four tankers of the same series, and the second one has officially entered into construction stage.
