The Stena Impeccable, the latest IMOIIMAX tanker to be delivered, named in Rotterdam. The Stena Impeccable was delivered at the beginning of March this year after which she sailed from China to Australia with a cargo of caustic soda. She then sailed with a cargo of vegetable oil from New Guinea via Singapore and the Suez Canal to Rotterdam.
The vessel is wholly owned by Stena Bulk, operated by Stena Weco and sails in the company's global logistics system, which currently employs around 60 vessels. Six of the 13 IMOIIMAX tankers are wholly owned by Stena Bulk, four together with GAR (Golden Agri Resources), two by Stena Bulk's sister company Concordia Maritime and one in a partnership with Weco. Ten tankers have so far been delivered and the remaining three will be delivered by 2018.
Concept IMOIIMAX is a further development of an already well-established concept and the innovative technical design was developed by Stena Teknik together with the Chinese shipyard GSI. It offers several advantages such as extra large cargo flexibility, a high level of safety and economical fuel consumption - 10-20% lower than that of equivalent vessels when sailing at service speed. Technical data: length: 183 metres, beam: 32 metres, deadweight: 50,000 tons.
