Ardmore Chinook joins Ardmore fleet
Ardmore Shipping Corporation has announced that its latest newbuild vessel, the Ardmore Chinook, was delivered by Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co. Ltd from their Nagasaki shipyard in Japan on 17th July 2015.
The Ardmore Chinook is a 25,000 DWT IMO 2 product and chemical tanker. Her addition to the Ardmore fleet increases the number of Ardmore vessels on the water to 21. Technical management of the Ardmore Chinook will be provided by Thome Ship Management Pte Ltd.
As with the Ardmore Cherokee and Ardmore Cheyenne, the Ardmore Chinook is a high quality eco-design vessel, fully equipped with a variety of fuel-saving measures, including Skysails vessel optimisation software, and offering the highest standards of performance for our customers. With an average age of under four and a half years, the Ardmore fleet is among the youngest in the industry.
This is the third of four newbuild vessels to be delivered from Fukuoka Shipbuilding this year and Ardmore looks forward to continuing to work closely with Fukuoka Shipbuilding on the remaining vessel in the series due for delivery in the last quarter of this year.
