The Arosa, one of the world's first double-hull VLCCs, is the pride of the fleet.

This revolutionary new vessel is double-sided and double-bottomed, and has a deadweight of 290,000 tons. The high-quality double-hull tankers from Hitachi Zosen are exceptionally easy to operate and maintain thanks to careful design and highly automated and integrated construction. Hitachi Zosen has an abundance of technology and experience in the construction of VLCCs.

Hitachi Zosen's Ariake Works is one of the most modern and automated in the world.

The works features a FCuB single-side welder that is 2.5 times faster than conventional automated welders,

NC cutting machines, proprietary 20-electrode line welders and portable NC welding robots (HIROBO).
