Capital Ship Management receives third product tanker this year

The newbuilding, an eco-type chemical/product MR tanker, was built by Hyundai Vinashin Vietnam Shipyard Co Ltd and is assigned Wind-Assisted Ready and HVSC-Ready notations by class society ABS. 

The HVSC-Ready notation is for vessels equipped with high voltage shore connection systems, and the Wind-Assist Ready notation refers to vessels equipped with wind-assist equipment. 

Avax is the third of six LNG fuel ready sister ships delivered to Capital Ship Management in 2023. Two other 50,000-dwt product tankers, Alkiviadis and Agisilaos joined the company’s fleet in January and February, respectively.

Marshall Island-flagged Avax features a future-proof design compliant with EEDI Phase 3 and is annotated with ABS SUSTAIN-1 (2020) that demonstrates adherence to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Three more ships, Akrisios, Anikitos and Atrotos are also under construction at Hyundai Vietnam Shipyard.
