Seacon Shipping Group has three major milestones in three days

At the beginning of the new year, Seacon Shipping Group has achieved a remarkable milestone within three days.

Successful Launch of an 18,500 DWT Oil/Chemical Tanker

On January 19, an 18,500-deadweight ton (DWT) oil/chemical tanker (DN517-1), built by Fujian Shipbuilding’s Southeast Shipyard, was successfully launched. This marks the first newly built chemical tanker for Seacon Shipping Group’s self-operated fleet.

The vessel is 149.8 meters long, with a beam of 22.8 meters, a depth of 12.7 meters, and a design draft of 8.5 meters. It is primarily designed to transport products such as petroleum, vegetable oil, and bulk chemicals (categories II and III) that comply with IBC regulations and have a flash point ≤60°C. The vessel features a shallow draft and large cargo capacity, meeting the requirements for unrestricted navigation areas. With a methanol dual-fuel-ready design, it complies with IMO Tier III emission standards and can be upgraded in the future to operate using clean methanol fuel.

Launch and Naming of a 42,000 DWT Bulk Carrier

On January 20, a launch and naming ceremony was held for a 42,000 DWT bulk carrier built by Tsuneishi Shipyard in Japan. Ms. Dai Yan served as the ship’s godmother and named it “Seacon Liverpool.” The event was attended by multiple representatives, including Yukio Okumura, President and Representative Director of Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Zhuang Wei, General Manager of the Asia-Pacific region of BIMCO, and other representatives.
