China's Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard launched a new oil/product tanker on Saturday, April 19.
Atlantic Majesty is the second in a new series of oil/product tankers built by Changhong International for Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping. Design work on the series was provided by CIMC Ocean Engineering Design and Research Institute.
Upon completion, the tanker will have an LOA of 249.9 metres, a beam of 44 metres, a depth of 21.5 metres, a structural draught of 15.2 metres, and a maximum deadweight of 115,000.
The ship features a straight bulbous bow design that balances the design draught and the structural draught, ensuring excellent navigational performance and effectively reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
The tanker will be powered by a 6G60ME main engine from MAN driving a large propeller. Vortex fins and energy-saving ducts will help improve propulsion efficiency.
Up to 132,000 cubic metres of liquid cargo can be carried in the onboard tanks.
