Chemical tankers owner and operator Terntank on Friday (5 July) announced the addition of a fifth vessel to its series of wind-assisted chemical and product tankers.
In March this year, the firm revealed its plans to order chemical and product tankers with a capacity of 15,000 dwt, equipped with wind-assisted propulsion and dual-fuel engines capable of running on MGO, biofuels, and methanol.
“Today, we’re pleased to share that we’ve exercised our option and ordered the fifth vessel from China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Yangzhou) Dingheng Co., Ltd,” it said in a social media post.
The ship will be designed by Kongsberg and will be the 11th vessel the firm will build at the shipyard.
The first ship in this series is under construction and will be delivered in March 2025, with the fifth expected in July 2027.
