Zodiac Maritime is proud to welcome the latest addition to its expanding fleet – a 158,600 DWT Suezmax tanker built by the esteemed Japan Marine United Corporation at the Tsu shipyard.
Designed with operational efficiency in mind, the vessel is equipped with cutting-edge energy-saving technologies, including a high-efficiency propeller, super stream duct (SSD), ALV-Fin, surf-bulb, and twisted rudder. Its optimised hull form, low wind-resistance accommodation block, and streamlined bow further enhance fuel efficiency and reduce wave resistance – underscoring Zodiac Maritime’s commitment to environmental efficiency.
The sea trials marked the final milestone in the vessel’s construction schedule, with comprehensive testing of its main engine, auxiliary systems, cargo equipment, navigation, and safety features. All systems performed at or above design expectations, particularly during speed trials.
As the ship enters commercial service, we wish the vessel and her crew safe passage, fair winds and calm seas wherever they sail.
