10 February 2015

COSCO (Zhoushan) Shipyard has recently secured a 152,000-dwt shuttle tanker from Knutsen. This is the second 152,000-dwt shuttle tanker the yard has undertaken to build for the Norwegian owner.

During the construction of the first vessel, COSCO (Zhoushan) manages to impress the owner by their effective planning, innovative techniques and good quality, and is thus entrusted with a second order.

The vessel will measure 276 metres LOA, 46 metres in breadth and 24.3 metres in depth, with a design draft of 16 metres and a scantling draft of 17.55 metres. It will be classed by DNV GL and is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter 2017.
