Dubai: Gulf Navigation Holding (GulfNav) has announced that it has taken delivery of the Gulf Fanatir, a newly-built vessel, constructed at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan, South Korea.
Contracted at a cost of $54.35 million, the ship is the first of a series of four chemical carriers ordered by Gulf Navigation.
Features
With deadweight of 46,200 metric tonnes, a capacity of 54,300 cubic metres, 20 specially coated cargo tanks and classed as an IMO Type II chemical carrier, it will have the capability to carry a broad range of petrochemical products.
The addition of this vessel to the GulfNav fleet reaffirms the company's position as a regional leader in shipping and marine services.
