Designed by Stena\u2019s own design department, the 158,000 dwt vessels are claimed to have dramatically improved energy efficiency which will, among other things, reduce fuel and bunker consumption by up to 15 percent compared with most efficient, conventionally designed Suezmax tankers currently in operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cStena Bulk have been patient in viewing the markets these past couple of years, to expand its fleet of Suezmax tankers and we have taken the time to integrate our proven track record for innovative tanker design by creating the most environmentally friendly large tanker of its size, with minimal fuel consumption, available today\u201d, said Ulf G. Ryder, president and ceo of Stena Bulk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe order for these seven vessels will all be excellent additions to the Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool\u201d, Ryder continued. \u201cThe pool, which is in the premium class of the operating tanker pools, will now further cement its lead with an emphasis on new and environmentally friendly tankers\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
