ISOICO Set to Build Iran’s First Hybrid Aframax

The National Iranian Tanker Company will soon sign a contract with Iran Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries Complex Company in southern Hormozgan Province, based on which the latter will build the first hybrid Aframax oil tanker for the former.
According to Hossein Shiva, NITC’s managing director, the construction of Aframax oil tankers based on international standards is indicative of Iran's technological prowess in manufacturing state-of-the-art oil tankers, ILNA reported.
“The tanker will have the capacity to carry 113,000 tons of crude and it will be Iran’s first hybrid LNG-mazut oil carrier,” he added.
