Greece: Almi Tankers Continues to Evolve Efficient Suezmax Tanker

Almi Sun and Almi Explorer have been delivered by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Shipyard, Geoje Island, Korea and have commenced their operational lives.

These ships are a further development of Almi Horizon delivered back in 2011. A significant development is that the latest deliveries have electronically controlled main engines, each turning a slightly larger propeller and they benefit from pre-swirl stators to further enhance energy efficiency.

Operators, Almi Tankers, based in Greece, said: “We welcome these even more eco-friendly tankers to our fleet. Both Almi Sun and Almi Explorer are designed to meet our responsibility to safeguard the environment. Almi Tankers recognises the need to consistently and continuously improve performance, especially with regards to environmental issues.”
