Four state-of-the-art tankers which they use as fuel liquefied natural gas-LNG was delivered at Hyundai shipyards in Korea by the NYSE listed Tsakos Energy Navigation led by Dr. Nikos Tsakos. All four vessels raised the Greek flag and are the first of this technology to be included in the Greek registry.
The Aframax type tankers has a capacity of 116,000 dwt each and are already time chartered for 10 years, with the possibility of extending the duration of the contract, to the Norwegian energy company Equinor with which TEN has had a stable and constructive cooperation for 15 years.
Dr. Nikos Tsakos from Korea with his son Panagiotis Tsakos commented: “All four newly built aframax tankers fly the Greek flag and are ready to use liquefied natural gas-LNG.
We continue the effort to create a 100% “green fleet” until 2030 with ships of new state-of-the-art technology.
It is the first time we take delivery of ships after the death of my co-founder and beloved mother, Dr. Irene Tsakou, who loved Korea.
“I want to thank everyone for the great job you did. This is the second time in a year that we are here to deliver high-tech ships. We are big supporters of the Korean shipbuilding industry and Korea”.
