Ardmore Shipping Corporation has taken delivery of its latest newbuild vessel, the Ardmore Chinook, from Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., the shipping company said in a press release. The handover ceremony was held on 17th July 2015 at Fukuoka Shipbuilding's Nagasaki shipyard in Japan.
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.

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.
