        总部位于阿布扎比的阿西尔海洋公司（国际控股公司的子公司）迎来了第二对由韩国K造船公司建造的5万吨级备选燃料化学品油轮。

 

        据透露，MT Saiph号及其姊妹船是这家阿联酋公司分别于2022年和2023年向韩国造船厂订购的新建六艘油轮中的两艘。

 

        据伦敦数据提供商VesselsValue显示，与开曼群岛旗下的其他船只一样，第二对油轮也按照相同的规格建造，船长182.9米，船宽32.2米，吃水13.3米。MT Saiph号属于2022年11月预订的整批四艘油轮之一。

 

        据报道，每艘油轮都配备了废气清洁系统（EGCS），也称为洗涤器，该系统可从洗涤器洗涤水中去除有害颗粒物，如未燃烧的燃油、烟灰颗粒、灰烬、多环芳烃和重金属。阿西尔海洋公司解释说，除此之外，这些装置还设计为可容纳液化天然气（LNG）、氨和甲醇等清洁燃料。

 

        阿西尔海洋公司的代表透露，由于具备这些特点，新建油轮符合包括国际海事组织（IMO）II和III油轮和化学品油轮规定在内的“严格”环保法规，同时满足了全球对清洁石油产品（CPP）和化学品运输需求的激增。

 

        据悉，这两艘新油轮已与Reliance Industries（中东）DMCC签订了为期5年的租船合同，每艘船价值4200万美元。它们将与姊妹船Betelgeuse号和Bellatrix号一同加入该租船协议。

 

        最新交付的船只由交通银行子公司交银金融租赁提供8000万美元（每艘4000万美元）的资金支持。据阿西尔海洋公司称，加上为Betelgeuse号和Bellatrix号额外获得的8000万美元，交银金融租赁的总承诺额达到1.6亿美元。

 

        在迎来这两艘最新油轮后，阿西尔海洋公司在K造船公司预订的六艘油轮中仅剩两艘尚未交付，预计将于明年年初完工。

 

        据了解，作为整批订购的四艘油轮之一，Betelgeuse号和Bellatrix号已于今年8月建造并交付。与MT Rigel号于2023年2月整批预订的MT Tabit号预计将于2025年1月交付。

Abu Dhabi-headquartered Al Seer Marine, a subsidiary of International Holding Company, has rang the welcome bell to the second duo of alternative fuel-ready 50,000 dwt chemical tankers, built by South Korea’s K Shipbuilding.

 

As disclosed, MT Saiph and its sister vessel are part of a newbuilding sextet that the UAE-based maritime organization ordered from the South Korean shipbuilder in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

 

Much like the rest of the Cayman Islands-flagged ships, the second pair was built to the same specifications, with a length of 182.9 meters, a beam of 32.2 meters and a draft of 13.3 meters, according to London-based data provider VesselsValue. MT Saiph is part of an en bloc quartet order booked back in November 2022.

 

Each of the tankers is reportedly equipped with exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), also known as scrubbers, which remove harmful particulate matter, such as unburned fuel oil, soot particles, ash, PAH, and heavy metals from the scrubber wash water. Al Seer Marine explained that, in addition to this, the units are engineered to accommodate clean fuels such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), ammonia and methanol.

 

Owing to these features, the newbuildings are compliant with ‘stringent’ environmental regulations—including the IMO II and III oil and chemical tanker stipulations—while meeting the ballooning global demand for clean petroleum products (CPP) and chemical transportation, representatives from Al Seer Marine revealed.

 

As understood, the new tanker duo has secured 5-year-long charters with Reliance Industries (Middle East) DMCC, valued at $42 million per ship. They are set to join their sister vessels Betelgeuse and Bellatrix in the charter agreement.

 

The latest delivery was financed by BOCOM Financial Leasing, a subsidiary of Bank of Communications, with funds amounting to $80 million, i.e. $40 million per unit. With the additional $80 million secured for Betelgeuse and Bellatrix, BOCOM’s total commitment totaled $160 million, as per Al Seer Marine.

 

Following the welcoming of the two latest units, Al Seer Marine has just two vessels remaining from the sextet booked at K Shipbuilding, with completion anticipated for the beginning of next year.

 

It is understood that Betelgeuse and Bellatrix—part of the en bloc-ordered quartet—were built and then delivered in August this year. MT Tabit, which was booked en bloc with MT Rigel in February 2023, is expected to be handed over in January 2025.
