Hyundai's Ship Building Division (HHI-SBD) has finalised a contract for two Suezmax tankers for Turkish shipowner, Ditas Shipping.
The 158,000-cubic-metre crude-oil tankers will each be powered by individual MAN B&W 6G70ME-C9.5 two-stroke main-engines that feature integrated Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems.
The newbuilds are said to be the first vessels to begin construction in 2016 that are officially certified as complying with Tier III emission restrictions within existing North American NOx Emission Control Areas (NECAs) and the United States Caribbean Sea NECA.
