The first in a series of eight coastal product tankers of Thun Tankers' Resource Efficient Class was handed over by shipbuilders from the Dutch Ferus Smit.

The vessel - Ice Class 1A, 114.95 by 15.87 metres, 7,999 deadweight - offers 9,540 m3 of carrying capacity (currently under long-term employment for Nynas).

"Adaptive propulsion to minimize energy usage, ready-for-shore electricity connection, UPS battery pack, the latest hull design and the newest and most resource-efficient machinery are some examples of the vessel's new features," Thun Tankers underlined in a press release.

Joakim Lund, CCO at Thun Tankers, added, "With Thun Resource delivered and in trade, we walk our sustainability talk, enabling Nynas AB with the most resource-efficient, high-quality coastal tanker available for the trade."
