Singmarine Delivers Second Of Two

Product Tankers To Petroships

Singmarine Industries Ltd., through its wholly- owned subsidiary Singmarine Dockyard &

Engineering Pte. Ltd., has completed and deliv- ered a 6,500-dwt product tanker to Petroships

Pte. Ltd.

The vessel was named Petro Opti by Mary Loh, wife of Dr. Robert Loh, president of the National

Council of Social Service, at a ceremony held in

Singmarine Dockyard's Main Yard.

Petro Opti is the second of two vessels

Singmarine Dockyard has built for Petroships under a $35 million contract. The first vessel,

Petro Venture, was delivered on schedule in April. "Petro Opti will join the Petroships fleet to serve mainly the oil majors in the East Asian region.

We are confident that she will be able to perform well, just like Petro Venture," said Alan Chan, chairman of Petroships.

Teh Kong Leong, chairman of Singmarine dockyard, said, "The need for modern and more efficient product tankers to renew the aging tanker fleet worldwide is expected to be translat-

With our track record of building a variety of tankers including LPG carriers and chemical tankers, Singmarine is well placed to benefit from this trend."

Measuring 360.9 ft. (110 m), MT Petro Opti has a cargo capacity of 7,800 cu. m. with two cargo pumps, each delivering 750 cu. m. of oil per hour.

Powered by a Hanshin engine, the vessel, which will have a crew of 20, is capable of a service speed of 12 knots. It is built in accordance with the clas- sification rules of Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NKK) of

Japan with the notation NK NS* (Tob) MNS*.

The Petroships Group owns and operates 10 tankers and handles another four owned by its associates in Malaysia. It is a member of a con- sortium involved in the development of a port on the Changjiang river in Changshu, north of

Suzhou.

Presently, Singmarine is busy with the construc- tion of a containership for Steamers

Containerships Holdings Pte. Ltd., and two tug- boats for Keppel Smit Towage. It has just final- ized a $34 million contract to build two coastal tankers for F.T. Everard & Sons Ltd., a U.K. ship- ping firm.
