Throughout the five generations, the shipbuilders from Constanta Shipyard have docked over 6,000 vessels for specific works and upgrades. They built and delivered 461 maritime vessels, of which the last 21 were 41,000 DWT oil and chemical tankers built on the basis of a successful integral Romanian project. Benefiting from this long experience, this time in collaboration with a German ship designer, we are proud to propose to the Maritime Transport Association a new and innovative 40,000 DWT tanker project without rival in the oil and chemical tanker class which is part of. The constructive features (loading capacity, fuel consumption, automation class, compliance with the highest environmental standards) will ensure the success of the new series of ships proposed to the market by our shipyard.”
M/T “Histria Atlas” is another example of the mobility, persistence and flexibility of merchant maritime forces. She and her coming sister vessels are joining a renewed and emboldened fleet, more modern, more capable, than ever before.
