Donsotank takes delivery of second LNG-powered tanker in China

Swedish privately-owned shipping firm Donsotank has taken delivery of the second LNG-powered product and chemical tanker from China’s Wuhu yard.

The DNV-classed LNG-powered ship is a sister vessel to Pacifico. Donsotank took delivery of this ship in December last year.

In addition, the 167.3 meters long vessels feature an F-Bow design hull optimized to withstand harsh weather conditions.
