The new 135-metre inland motor tanker Crescendo has entered service following the completion of trials in the Netherlands.
RensenDriessen Shipbuilding designed the vessel and delivered her to owner Crescendo Tankvaart. Volharding Shipyard and Breko Shipbuilding and Repair jointly carried out the outfitting and technical installation work.
The tanker has a beam of 17.5 metres and a cargo carrying capacity of approximately 8,600 tonnes. Victrol, which added Crescendo to its fleet late last month, said the ship has 8,700 cubic metres of space across 12 coated cargo tanks as well as a fully equipped system for heating cargo.
Victrol will employ the tanker in the transport of clean petroleum products in the Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp region.
The vessel is the latest in a series of 135-metre inland tankers designed by RensenDriessen to enter service this autumn. These include the bunker tanker Falcon, which was outfitted by TeamCo Shipyard, and Felicitas, which was outfitted by Den Breejen Shipyard.
