Stena Bulk takes delivery of the tenth of 13 Imoiimax tankers

Stena Impeccable, the tenth of 13 imoiimax tankers ordered from the Chinese shipyard in Guangzhou, China, has been delivered to Stena Bulk. The chemical and product tanker Stena Impeccable has a length of 183 metres, a beam of 32 metres and a deadweight of 50,000 tons. The tanker, which is wholly owned by Stena Bulk, will be operated by Stena Weco and will sail in the company's logistics system, which currently employs more than 60 vessels.

Imoiimax is a further development of an already well-established concept. The innovative technical design was developed by Stena Teknik together with the shipyard Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI). This MR tanker is characterised by extra large cargo flexibility, a high level of safety and low fuel consumption, i.e. 10-20% lower than that of equivalent vessels when sailing at service speed.

With offices in six countries, STENA BULK is one of the world's leading tanker shipping companies. The company controls a combined fleet of around 100 vessels. Stena Bulk is part of the Stena Sphere, which has more than 20,000 employees and sales of SEK 60 billion.
