This second procurement is a significant step in strengthening the company's capabilities in the global energy transportation sector.
These new vessels will enhance the efficiency and environmental performance of Nanjing Tanker Corporation’s fleet, aligning with the latest international regulations for fuel efficiency and sustainability. The LR2 class tankers, renowned for their versatility and high transport capacity, will be pivotal in meeting the growing global demand for energy transport.
