First 105K Shuttle Tanker going steadily

2010-11-17

COSCO Nantong Shipyard has finished the starting test programme for the generator set for the first 105K shuttle tanker. So far, its construction process has advanced steadily and, as planned, has stepped into the equipment commissioning phase.

The series of 105K shuttle tankers are being built by COSCO Nantong Shipyard using its own design. Unlike a normal tanker, they are designed for oil transport from an offshore oil field, and equipped with dynamic positioning and an off-loading system.
