Bahri, a global leader in transportation and logistics, has reached a new milestone by accepting delivery of ‘Rimthan,’ a 300,000-dwt carrier built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI) in South Korea, the company said in its press release. The addition of ‘Rimthan’ to its fast-growing fleet of multipurpose vessels, reinforces Bahri’s position as the world’s largest owner and operator of Very Large Crude-oil Carriers (VLCCs) with a 40-strong fleet.
The new vessel, built to the latest environmental and fuel-efficient technical specifications, was handed over to Bahri during a delivery ceremony held at HSHI’s Mokpo shipyard in South Jeolla Province, South Korea.
‘Rimthan’ is the fourth VLCC to join the Bahri fleet this year, following the delivery of ‘Amjad,’ ‘Maharah,’ and, more recently, ‘Aslaf.’
