Maran Tankers adds LNG-powered newbuild to its fleet

Maran Tankers Management, the oil tanker unit of Greece’s Angelicoussis Shipping Group, has taken delivery of another LNG dual-fuel Suezmax oil tanker in China.

The 155,500-dwt Maran Myrsini was built by China’s New Times Shipbuilding and sails under the Greek flag.

The delivery marks “another important step in the continued expansion of Maran Tankers’ modern, energy-efficient fleet,” Angelicoussis said in a social media post on Thursday.

According to the group, Maran Myrsini incorporates an optimized hull form, advanced energy-saving devices, efficient BOG management, and a shaft generator arrangement, contributing to lower fuel consumption and improved operational performance.

This is the fourth LNG dual-fuel Suezmax tanker of eight Maran Tankers ordered at New Times in 2023.

Maran Tankers first ordered four LNG dual-fuel Suezmax tankers and exercised an option for four additional vessels.

The firm currently operates 51 vessels, and it has 12 vessels on order, according to its website.
