The new generation of very large oil tanker "Front Devin" was named and delivered in Liaoning

China News Service, Dalian, October 15 (Reporter Yang Yi) The 307,000-ton crude oil tanker "Front Devon" built by Dalian Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, for Norwegian SEATANKERS was named and delivered in Dalian, Liaoning on the 15th, 77 days ahead of the contract period.

The ship is a new generation of very large crude oil tanker (VLCC) independently developed and designed by Dalian Shipbuilding. Through optimization of hull lines, improvement of energy-saving devices, and innovative installation of six-cylinder main engines, its performance indicators have reached first-class levels.

At the same time, the ship has good port and channel applicability. With a design draft of 20.5 meters, it can carry more than 2 million barrels of crude oil and freely pass through the Strait of Malacca.
