New stainless steel parcel tankers for Stolt Tankers

Stolt Tankers B.V. orders five 38,000 deadweight ton stainless steel parcel tankers from Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in China
 
Stolt Tankers B.V., a subsidiary of Stolt-Nielsen Limited, has reached an agreement with Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. (Hudong-Zhonghua) and China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Ltd, (CSTC), under China Shipbuilding Group Corporation (CSSC), for five plus three options 38,000 deadweight ton (dwt) stainless steel parcel tankers.
 
The ships were designed to deliver substantial improvements in fuel efficiency, while providing operational flexibility with their fully stainless steel cargo tanks, cargo pumps, heating and cooling capacity. With a relatively shallow draft when fully loaded, the ships are expected to consume significantly less fuel compared with existing parcel tankers.

Each of them will have 43 stainless steel tanks with a total volume of 44,000 cubic meters.  The parcel tankers will meet both Marpol Annex I and Annex II cargo requirements, complying with common structural rules for oil tankers. Furthermore the ships will have IMO I, II and III capabilities. Stolt Tankers and its partners today own and operate globally 150 ships ranging in size from 1,100 dwt to 44,000 dwt.
